When you want a quick Tteokbokki (떡볶이) fix but don't have to time or ingredients to make it from scratch, this is a great substitute. I love it! It's not as spicy as you would think by the drawing of the lady in tears on the side of the bowl, but it's got a great taste that's a little warm, but also sweet and savory. There is an alternate way to fix it for thicker sauce that I found on the Internet (and like it that way) so that it's not quite as "soupy", but even with following the directions printed on the container it's fantastic! Perfect for lunch at work or when you want a late night snack.
