It snowed for the first time this winter in Korea.
Today, I will introduce Korean Street Food.
Those are especially popular during the winter season!!
If you visit Korea, the vendors sell them in a similar way to Korean fish cake with soup "called eomuk 어묵"", Baked sweet potatoes and chestnuts.
Hoppang 호빵
Hoppang is a warm snack sold throughout Korea. It is a pre-cooked ball of rice flour filled with something such as red bean paste, similar to Chinese dòushābāo. The hoppang is steamed to keep it warm and sold at small shops like 7-11, Buy the Way, and many small independent grocery stores throughout the winter months.

Another popular one is fish-cake 오뎅.
The vendors sell fish-cake as skewered type with soup.
This Fish-shaped bread is called Bungeoppang 붕어빵.
Bungeoppang (lit. “crucian carp cake/bread”) is the Korean name of a pastry similar to the Japanese fish-shaped pastry taiyaki.
Bungeoppangs are prepared using an appliance similar to a waffle iron. The batter is poured into a fish-shaped mold, red bean paste is added, then more batter to encase the red bean paste. The mold is then closed, and roasted.
In Korean, bung'eo (붕어) means Carassius, a kind of fish, and ppang (빵) means bread.
