1. Hotteok (sugar-filled griddlecake)
Hotteok‘s dough is made from flour, water, milk, sugar, and yeast. The dough can be inflated for several hours. The hand-sized of this stiff dough is filled with a sweet mixture, which can contain brown sugar, honey, chopped peanuts and cinnamon. Place the filled dough on the greased grays, and when cooking, press it flat, drawing a large circle with a stainless steel circle and a special tool with a wooden handle. The type of hotteok has been constantly changing, although many people like traditional cinnamon and peanut butter. Like many of the other street foods in Korea, hotteok is a steal at only 700 to 1,000 won a piece.
2. Egg Bread (gyeran bbang)
Egg bread is a popular winter street food in Korea along with hotteok. It has a somewhat similar flavor to an egg-infused corn muffin and tastes a little sweet and salty at a time. There are several variations of this egg bread. Some things look like sandwiches : eggs are between bread doughs. Others can see egg yolks clearly because the eggs are right on top of the bread Also, interestingly, some people said that some merchants squeeze tomato sauce on the bread. Common toppings include chopped parsley, cheese, and diced ham.
3. Bungeoppang
Bungeoppang is made by pouring flour dough into a black cast iron frame shaped like a fish to fill it with red bean Bungeoppang can vary in shape and color depending on the amount of flour used and baking time, but taste is always a satisfying food for the crowd!

These days, in addition to traditional red bean paste, you can meet a variety of fish-shaped buns, including bungeoppang, mini-bungeoppang. Prices vary by region, but three to five are usually sold for 2,000 won.
4. Kkochi eomuk
