What drives the calories

Rice cakes are dense starch, at about 220 kcal per 100 g.
The sauce is made with gochujang, sugar and often corn syrup, so it adds sugar.
Cheese, ramyeon or a cream sauce add about 80 to 160 kcal.

How to make it lighter

Order the regular version instead of cheese or rosé.
Share one portion, and eat the fish cake and cabbage first.
Skip the fried twigim that is often dipped in the sauce.
