Topokki
As one of the most popular street foods in Korea across all age groups, topokki can be divided into two types – spicy bunsik topokki made with gochujang (red pepper paste) and gungjung (royal) topokki made with ganjang (soy sauce).

Spicy topokki which is the common type of topokki is made by simmering ddeok (rice cake) in a spicy sauce made of gochujang, green onion, garlic, and sugar (or starch syrup). One can also add other ingredients including boiled eggs and sliced fish cakes.

Gungjung topokki was the type of topokki eaten in palaces, which was made by stir-frying ddeok and beef marinated in soy sauce. So it was not spicy and is now called gungjungsik topokki.

Sundae
Sundae, commonly available as street food or at buksikjip, is made by stuffing pig’s intestines with dangmyeon (clear noodles) and pigs’ blood and steaming them. In Busan, Ulsan and some parts of South Gyeongsang Province, sundae is eaten with makjang (a type of sauce) but in most parts of Korea sundae is eaten with salt and other pig parts like liver or lung.

It can be categorized into Ojingeo sundae (Squid sundae) and chapssal sundae (glutinous rice sundae) depending on ingredients used; and Byeongcheon sundae and Abai sundae depending on the region in which it is produced.
