The BIFF Square pancake of Busan: a yeasted dough round fried in oil, split open and stuffed with molten brown sugar and a full scoop of toasted seeds.
Hotteok came to Korea with Chinese traders, but Busan gave it the split-and-stuff treatment. On BIFF Square in Nampo-dong, stallholders began slicing the fried pancake open and packing it with sunflower, pumpkin and peanut seeds over the brown-sugar core, and the ssiat, or seed, hotteok became the street snack every festival-goer carries. The stalls still work in pairs, one frying, one stuffing, all winter long.
