Golmok - Tteok bok ki Rosé 500g Frozen Meal Kit

Rose Tteok bok ki(로제 떡볶이) is a fusion version of the traditional Tteok bok ki (Korean spicy rice cakes) that combines a creamy, tomato-based sauce with the usual spicy sauce, creating a rich, creamy, and slightly tangy flavor. The term "rose" comes from the Italian "rosé," which refers to a sauce made by blending tomato sauce and cream. This combination results in a deliciously smooth and spicy dish that's become very popular in Korea and internationally.

What Makes Rose Tteok bok ki Special?

1. Creamy Tomato Sauce: The defining characteristic of rose Tteok bok ki is the use of a creamy tomato sauce that blends tomato paste with cream. This results in a sauce that’s rich, velvety, and less intense than traditional spicy tteokbokki, but still flavorful with a subtle spicy kick.

2. Chewy Rice Cakes: As with traditional Tteok bok ki, chewy wheat rice cakes are used. They soak up the creamy, spicy sauce, making each bite comforting and satisfying.

3. Spicy and Creamy: Rose Tteok bok ki retains the spiciness of the classic version, but it’s balanced by the smooth creaminess of the sauce, offering a milder experience compared to the usual fiery heat of regular Tteok bok ki.

4. Variety of Add-ins: Just like traditional Tteok bok ki, rose Tteok bok ki can be topped with ingredients such as cheese, boiled eggs, fish cakes, and vegetables like onions and peppers. The addition of melted cheese is particularly popular, creating a cheesy rose Tteok bok ki version that’s even more indulgent.
