Tteokbokki represents a shameful hole in my culinary experience, I've had plenty of Korean food but just never had the opportunity. Going to have to rectify that soon somehow

It's dead simple:

Make dashi. Powdered Korean style is fine, you're not going to be tasting it directly. Add gochugaru and gochujang. Quantity depends on your taste. Add ingredients. Garaetteok is the only required one, you can go hog wild here if you want. I like some garlic, green onions, onions, cabbage, fish cake, hard boiled quail egg. Cook it until it gets to the sauce thickness you want. In Korea there will be a ton of syrup and sugar added, I don't like that but a tiny bit of sugar is a good flavor enhancer. Season with soy sauce.

You can get a full recipe on Korean Bapsang if you want but it's a dish that you really do not need a recipe for.

I've never found it needed a thickener. It prob gets enough starch off the garaetteok plus reducing the liquid.

Also gochujang gets overwhelming if you use too much. If it tastes fine but isn't hot enough, add more gochugaru.

Hopefully they won't make it crazy sweet. I have never seen more sugar and syrup used in anything than when I watched tteokbokki being made at street stalls.

What’s the street food situation like in the more happening areas of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto? I realize that I haven’t heard much about Japanese street food at all in my life.

I know this must have been explained before, and I appreciate any links to old answers.

It depends on your definition. If you're picturing street food as stalls out on the street like in Thailand, or that dude mashing pomegranates, that doesn't really exist in Japan. There are some yatai stalls in Fukuoka and very occasionally you'll spot one somewhere else, but mostly you will only see that at festivals. There are also a couple tourist trap areas like in front of Sensoji in Asakusa that have permanent setups. Those are notable because of their rarity though.

There are shops that sell ready to eat food and don't have seating, so you can stand out front and eat your fried chicken or whatever. I don't think it's what most people are talking about when they say street food but it's debatable.

I will never get the Japanese absurdly thick toast thing. At least that one has enough toppings you could have flavor through the entire situation. Usually it's a paper thin spread of stuff on top of half a loaf of plain bread. Which would also be okay if the bread were a good sourdough or something but it is just a white sponge.
