Bindaetteok – mung bean pancake

Tteokbokki – rice rolls

These sticky dense rice rolls are stewed in a thick red chili sauce

Soondae (Sundae) – blood sausage

The Korean version of blood sausage is remarkably juicy and moist, partly because it contains a mixture of blood and a good amount of sticky and soft mung bean noodles or sticky rice.
