Sausage-and-rice-cake skewer

소떡소떡

What exactly is it?

Small sausages alternate with chewy rice cakes on a cooked skewer. The contrast is between salty sausage and mild, springy cake. “So” abbreviates sausage here; it does not mean the snack contains only beef.

Main ingredients

Rice cakes, small sausages, oil and a chili-paste or ketchup-based sauce

Ordering and serving

Try one piece of cake with one sausage for the intended contrast. Check the sausage ingredients if you avoid pork.

Origins and changes

This modern snack is sold at highway service areas and snack stands. Its alternating ingredients give it its repeated name, and people eat the cake and sausage either together or separately.

Rice-cake skewer

떡꼬치

Main ingredients
Rice or wheat cake sticks, oil and a chili-paste, ketchup and sugar sauce
Flavor and character
Short cake sticks are skewered, cooked until golden and brushed with sweet, spicy sauce. Unlike saucy tteokbokki, the surface can be crisp while the middle stays chewy. Most of the seasoning sits on the outside.
How to eat it
Slide off small pieces rather than pulling the whole row upward. The cakes firm up as they cool, so they are easiest to eat soon after cooking.
