A single tteokbokki rice cake on a speckled green plate

common korean tteokbokki plate

This plate was never designed for you. It is simply what tteokbokki has been served on in Korean snack bars for decades — the same speckled green, the same rim that is just high enough to hold the red sauce and nothing more. Order one portion, get one plate, and eat it standing up if the shop has no chairs. It is common because the food is.

How to use it in Korea

One portion of tteokbokki, or anything else that comes with a sauce worth keeping. This plate rarely sits alone — put the fried food next to it.
