호떡 anyone? Dina?
호떡 (hoduk) is a delicious treat, pure and simple. "Inside-out elephant ear" is an attempted description, but really doesn't do the 호떡 justice. This fried pillow of dough surrounding a mixture of cinnamon, sugar and peanuts is likely to burn your mouth, fingers, and leave your front side decorated with sticky melted drops. If none of these ailments affect your first 호떡 experience, you should find another stand and try a fresh one. Each 호떡 vendor has their own flavor and mixture. Some lace the dough with green tea, some add small peas. An experienced 호떡 connoisseur will have learned the technique, and at least tried to make them at home, using the store bought mix. Make sure to never try a 호떡 stand near your house. Otherwise you'll figure out the most convenient way to have one every day; believe me, I've seen it with my own two eyes.
