It's a fermented mix of peppers, glutinous rice, and bean paste.

Interestingly enough, I just saw a Chinese food show a couple days ago where they showcased this and showed how it was made. Never tried this myself. The whole fermented nature of it will make it hit or miss with a lot of folks.

It's fermented pepper paste made from red chili peppers, rice, fermented soybeans, and salt. It's fermented in big earthen jugs for months, years.

Probably the most popular and well known kids snack/street food is tteokbokki. It's made with soft rice cakes, thin fish cakes, cabbage, and gochujang sauce. Really simple to make but can be quite spicy.
