Ok tonight's culinary delight comes from Bucheon Station market about 5 minutes from my house. When my boss and I were on the way to get tteokbokki, spicy rice cake in sauce, for his family, he had pointed out this stall as being in the japanese style. but the next time I went there, the queue was very long. A good sign I thought and decided to try again another night.
So tonight is that night,also I've decided I'm going to do a photo catalogue of my favourite food signs as they all involve acartoon pig, cow, squid, animal of some description going "yeah I'm in this, I'm dead tasty, Eat me EAT ME!"
So..
on the stall they have like waffle irons except that they have circular holes in them, the batter goes down and then the crispy batter balls are turned and plucked in a quick and exacting manner into your box, once snugly packed they are liberally seasoned with a coriander, smeared in mayonaise and barbeque sauce and coated in a mass of what looks like plastic shavings. These turn out to taste incredibly smoky and bacony, making me suspect that they are wafer thin slices of pig skin, cellophane crackling as it were..
So cellophane crackling, smoky, intense, cutting through it is the creamy mayonaise and the spice of the BBQ sauce, then onto the dumpling, creamy soft croquette like , filled with small pieces of vegetable and a big piece of squid, so firm and tasty, a great contrast to the soft croquette which is the last thing you taste.
