I'm guessing this will go unanswered, but would anyone happen to know the nutrition info for o-deng? I know it's basically mashed up fish and flour, so maybe 2/3 protein and 1/3 carbs? That sound about right?

Anyone have the Korean skills (or korean g/f or b/f) to do a quick search in korean for me? i can't find it on english websites.

if you can find the answer, i'll be most happy and impressed! and if you ever swing thru my little po-dunk town, i'll buy you a heap of o-deng!

According to this chat, the top line is for odeng.

135 calories
14.1g protein
3.0 fat
117mg calcium
13.7g carbohydrate

The other three are for comparison purposes - imitation crab meat, pork and white rice.

WOW -- awesome! Thank you for the fast reply!

I'm going to guess that this is for about 31g of o-deng -- maybe that's about one stick? Did it say?

Thanks again!

[tzechuk]

No, it doesn't say. It just says *average*.

[Cynical Optimist]

cool -- good enough! thanks

I love Odeng. Now that the cold weather is drawing in, eating Odeng and drinking the fantastic Odeng-guk is a great way to keep warm if you're out and about.

yep, or a little dukbokki from the street ajumas, or a Korean pancake. Korean food tastes better in the colder months.

The odeng soup is good. I don't even bother with the odeng.

[Cynical Optimist]

Yeah, I always though o-deng was just "okay", but since I've been on a pretty strict diet for awhile now, I actually found myself really craving to eat some o-deng. I always assumed it was kind of a crappy food in terms of it's nutrition, but I guess maybe it's okay after all. Ate it for a long time without ever really understanding what it was.

I hate odeng. It should, therefore, be prohibited.
