Sausage 70g

Sausage with Tteokbokki is another popular variation of the classic tteokbokki (떡볶이) dish, combining the chewy rice cakes with savory sausage. This version adds extra flavor, texture, and protein to the traditional dish, making it even more filling and satisfying. It’s a fun twist on the original that’s commonly found in Korean street food stalls or as a homemade variation.

How Sausage Enhances Tteokbokki:

• Flavor: Sausages add a savory, sometimes smoky or spicy flavor that complements the spicy-sweet gochujang (Korean chili paste) sauce of the tteokbokki.
• Texture: The sausages, which are typically sliced, offer a slightly crispy exterior (if pan-fried or grilled) and a juicy interior, which contrasts nicely with the chewy rice cakes.
• Protein: Adding sausage makes tteokbokki more of a complete meal, as the sausage provides protein and helps balance out the carbs from the rice cakes.
