Dukbokgi is a spicy (辛辣的 ) hot food made of rice cakes and some vegetables. These rice cakes are fingershaped. They are white, and they are about ten centimeters in length. They are mixed with sliced vegetables in a pan with a spicy red dressing. A quarter of an hour later, they are ready to eat. Odeng is made of ground fish. It es 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, which has been boiled in a pot. It’s served on a long stick so you can eat it easily. The food sold at these stands is not expensive, pared to what other foods in Korea cost. Each Dukbokgi and Odeng costs about twenty to fifty cents, depending on the owner. Each food stand has its own recipes for its food. For example, some like to add sugar or other special ingredients in the food. Usually, there is just one owner, but if the food stand is big, there may be two or three owners.
