Fish cake skewers in warm broth
How to Make Odeng (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Odeng (오뎅), also known as Eomuk, is a beloved Korean street food made from seasoned fish cakes simmered in a light, savory broth. Its origins trace back to Korean port cities, where seafood has always played a vital role. Odeng is often enjoyed at pojangmacha (street food stalls) and is a staple in Korean markets, especially during the colder months when a hot, comforting bowl is most inviting. The gentle, umami-rich broth combined with chewy fish cakes offers a satisfying yet light snack, making it a favorite among people of all ages. In Korean cuisine, Odeng is not just a snack but an integral part of banchan (side dishes) culture and is often served alongside pickled or fermented foods like kimchi for a balance of flavors. Its simplicity, affordability, and heartwarming taste embody the communal spirit of Korean food. Odeng can be customized with vegetables and spice levels, making it a versatile dish to suit any palate. Whether you enjoy it at home or from a bustling street vendor, Odeng brings a taste of Korea’s vibrant food scene to your table.
