Dish type
Stir-fried Korean dishes (bokkeum)
Stir-fried in a pan with sauce, often spicy. Ranges from main dishes to small side dishes. Tteokbokki has its own list. Main-dish bokkeum, such as spicy stir-fried pork, octopus or chicken, comes with rice, either as a one-person lunch set or as a plate to share. At spicy stir-fried chicken restaurants, staff often fry rice in the leftover sauce at the end. Small bokkeum like stir-fried fishcake or dried anchovies arrive free with the meal as side dishes. Red-sauced versions get their heat from gochujang or chili flakes, so check the spice level on each dish page.
