Gungjung Ddeokbokki

Gungjung Ddeokbokki (궁중 떡볶기) is a Korean dish.  Consists of rice cakes, often with other ingredients, such as beef and/or mushrooms and/or onions and/or noodles, sautéed in soy sauce.  Reputedly derives from royal culinary traditions – “gungjung = palace.”

I’m not a fan.  I prefer the modern spicy street version.

MIL makes it for her son whenever he’s over for dinner.  He seems to enjoy it.
