The street food stands (摊) are very popular in Korea. The stand owners give the names of their food stands according to (根据) the food they sell (出售): Dukbokgi and Odeng.
Dukbokgi is a spicy hot food made of rice cakes and some vegetables. These rice cakes are finger-shaped. They are white, and they are about ten centimeters(厘米) long. They are mixed with sliced vegetables in a pan with a spicy red dressing. Fifteen minutes later, they are ready to eat.
Odeng is made of ground fish. It comes in many shapes: some are square, others are round, and still others are stick style. You can buy big or small ones. At these food stands, you can also eat Odeng. It is boiled (煮) in a pot. It is served on a long stick so you can eat it easily.
The food at these stands is not expensive. Each Dukbokgi and Odeng is about twenty to fifty cents, depending on the owner.
Each food stand has its own recipes (配方) for its food; for example, some like to add sugar or other special ingredients (配料) in the food. Usually, there is just one owner, but if the food stand is big, there may be two or three owners.
When I was a primary school student, I used to stop at street food stands every day with other girls after school to eat the street food.
