Snack #157- Samyang Topokki Red Pepper Paste Dipped Snack Korean Hot & Spicy Flavor

Samyang Topokki Red Pepper Paste Dipped Snack Korean Hot & Spicy Flavor

So apparently ‘topokki’ is a Korean street food snack made of sliced rice cake and beef in red sauce.  What comes in this bag looks a lot more like pasta with a very shiny coating so it’s hard to know what this snack actually is supposed to represent.  They are really sweet and almost taste like they should be a dessert type snack with a sugar coating.  We really couldn’t taste the red pepper paste or really anything savory.  The only hint of spicy snack in these is a smoky heat that spikes in the throat briefly after the snack is swallowed but is dull and just tastes weird after eating the overly sweet snack.

Rating on the Spice-O-Meter: 0.5/10

Bottom Line: These would be better suited for a sweet snack blog.
