‘Odeng’ is a beloved Korean comfort food that is enjoyed at home, as street food and at restaurants. My parents would tell me stories about growing up in post-war Korea and enjoying this affordable dish after school. Nutritious food was scarce during their childhood, and any low-cost filling dish was widely consumed, so my mother would make Odeng at home for my family. I enjoy this dish whenever I visit Korea and it always conjures a rush of positive emotions. This piece reflects the powerful affects of food on memories and emotions. Revisiting these feelings transports me to a playful time of fantasy, daydreaming and youth.
