History, tradition and origin

Cold buckwheat noodles come from the north of the Korean peninsula, where they were a winter dish, and spread south after the Korean War. Glass noodles with vegetables were once court food and now appear at every birthday and holiday. Chewy rice cakes in red chili sauce and scallion pancakes are the snacks of market stalls and rainy days.

Food economy and industry

Street stalls and small snack shops are a fixture of Korean cities and an entry point for small business owners. Rice cakes give farmers a market for surplus rice. The worldwide popularity of Korean television and music has turned these snacks into export products, sold frozen and as instant kits.
