We’re diving into the sizzling world of iron griddle street food, known as cheolpan yori  in Korean. This style of cooking isn’t just about the taste — it’s about the experience.

Here are five must-try iron griddle street foods that capture the heart of Korean street culture.

1. Bungeobbang (Fish shaped pastry) 😍

Bungeoppang is a fish-shaped pastry filled with sweet red bean paste, custard, or even Chocolate. It’s cooked on a cast-iron mold until golden and crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside. Sold mostly in winter, it’s a nostalgic treat for many Koreans — and a must-try for visitors.

2. Hotteok – Sweet, Crispy Pancake 🎉

Hotteok is a popular Korean street pancake filled with brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts.
It’s pressed flat and cooked on a hot iron griddle until the outside becomes crispy and golden, while the inside turns into warm, gooey syrup.
Hotteok is a beloved winter snack that warms both hands and hearts.

🔥 Insider tip: Modern versions include green tea, cheese, or even ice cream fillings!                                I also recommend choosing the flavor you want and eat!!

💵 Price in Korea: About 1500 won for 1

3. Sibwonppang – Korea’s Mini Coin Pancake👍

Sibwonppang means “10-won bread,” named after its coin-like shape.
These bite-sized pancakes are cooked in special griddle molds and usually filled with cheese!!
They’re fun, affordable, and perfect for a quick snack or photo moment on the street.

🔥 Insider tip: Sibwonppang is famous as a street food, but its origin is                                                  Gyeongju!! If you interested in this bread, I recommend                                                    try original Sibwonppang in Gyeongju!!

💵 Price in Korea: About 2500 won for 1

Sundae Bokkeum is a bold and flavorful street dish made by stir-frying Korean blood sausage (sundae) with vegetables, rice cakes, and a spicy gochujang-based sauce on a hot griddle.

5. Gopchang Bokkeum                                                                 – Fried Beef Intestines with a Kick 💥

Gopchang Bokkeum is a spicy stir-fry made with beef intestines (gopchang), onions, chives, and gochujang-based sauce, cooked on a hot iron griddle.
It’s rich, chewy, and full of smoky flavor — a favorite among locals, especially as a late-night comfort food.
The sizzling sound and bold aroma make it hard to resist!

🔥 Insider tip: If you're new to beef intestines, start with a milder version like                                            makchang(large intestines) or try a half-and-half plate with noodles                                    (gopchang + chewy glass noodles).
