A combination of wheat tteokbokki + broth. There are no other auxiliary ingredients such as fish paste!. But there are a lot of tteokbokki. I always couldn't finish the tteokbokki when I ordered rice balls from the side menu. Maybe I'm the type to eat a little...=.=“. When it comes out, there is more soup than expected, but it comes out in a porcelain bowl slightly larger than most rice bowls. It has a strong spicy scent of pepper and also has a curry scent. There are people who say that it is mild to spicy, and from medium to spicy, it varies from person to person, so even if you think you are confident in spicy food, I recommend that you do not try spicy food from the beginning and try it from medium!.
