Cheese Rabokki (치즈라볶이)

Tteokbokki is one of Korea’s most famous foods. It is the first food that comes to mind when we think of Korean street food. Due to its popularity, it has developed into many variations such as tteokbokki with dumplings, sea food, pasta, and a pork cutlet. Cheese rabokki is one of the variations. It adds ramyeon noodles to the teokbokki. The name “rabokki” comes from ramyeon and tteokbokki.

Cheese rabokki is by far the most famous variation of tteobokki among Koreans, as you can enjoy the cheesy taste of noodles as well as the sweet and spicy taste of tteokbokki. It’s also very easy and quick to make (even for beginners of Korean cooking) and you can easily get ingredients in local grocery shops.
