(1) The tin
(2) The meal
(3-4) Opened tin and with sauce poured off. Found a lime leaf! 🙂
(5-8) The DongWon microwaveable toppoki never had microwaveable tteok-bokki (rice flour batons) before
(9-10) I chopped some of my favorite brand of kimchi from H Mart
(11) After I assembled the bowl, I decided to add about 1 tsp of sesame oil
(12-13) Close up of the bowl and all stirred up
(14-16) Tteok cooking method, ingredients and nutrition
(17-18) 555 Tuna ingredients and nutrition

So this tteok was a hubby pick-up the other day at Jusgo, and I got the tuna. Tteok are a kind of rice flour baton, that also comes in oval flat shaped. They are very similar to rice noodles, just thicker and chewier. Tteok is usually served in a savory or spicy sauce – it’s really good! Fresh tteok cooks up tender and absorbs the sauce – yummmm
I’ve never had microwaveable tteok before, only fresh. I prefer the more tender and delicate texture of the fresh tteok batons – the microwaveable ones were dense and extremely chewy.
I have a couple of other of these microwaveable tteok, but I think next time I will cook them on the stove in water to see if they will absorb more water and get more tender.
This was my first time trying 555 tuna – and it’s not bad. The fish is actually spicy without being either overwhelmingly fishy or hot. It’s a nice balanced tin of fish, even though tuna flakes are not usually my first choice for canned tuna.
The tuna flakes are packed in soybean oil, which is a neutral oil that doesn’t bother me. There was more liquid than oil, which meant that the larger tuna flakes were a bit dry. The smaller tuna flakes were moist, but were not a heat for the eyes. This is tasty, but not beautiful, fish.
The 555 tuna paired very well with the sweet and cheesy tteok sauce. I’m more of a savory person, so I thought the dish needed the pop of acid from the kimchi.
7/10 will buy this tin again – I’ve had better spicy tuna, and there was a lot of liquid in the tin that I didn’t use – maybe I should have!

The stovetop version (it’s not fresh, it’s shelf stable, same company) of the toppokki is way better imo than the microwavable cup. But assi makes a roppoki cup with smaller toppokki and they aren’t as dense. It’s more of a snack cup so it’s not a lot of food but they make nice lunches with some fish or tofu thrown in.
