Korean Food Stans Rejoice, Zumra is Coming Through with Instant Tteok-bokki for a Spicy AF Summer
Korean instant spicy rice cakes aka Tteok-bokki have just touched down in Cairo thanks to Zumra.
Pop quiz: BTS, K-Dramas, kimchi, bulgogi, kimbap, – what do all these things have in common? We’ll wait…they’re all parts of the amazingness and diversity that is Korean cuisine and culture. Frequenters of Maadi and the culinary gems within it (we’re jelly) will know that Korean food is spicy, sweet and savoury in all the right ways and always seems to hit the spot when what you’re looking for is a wholesome meal that takes you Seoul and back.
Well, it looks like you won’t have to abandon your social distancing ethos to get some Korean food in Cairo. If you’re familiar with the beauty that is Korean food, then you’ll for sure understand how excited we were when we found out that Zumra – the local Asian products haven – has just started selling Tteok-bokki. If you’re not familiar with the Korean staple – and therefore missing out in our honest opinion – Ttteok-bokki is a stir-fried rice cake dish usually drenched in a Korean spicy and sweet gochuchang-based sauce. The dish is often garnished with boiled eggs, scallions and other condiments.
