01. Interesting Korean expression of rice cakes

The word 'tteok' has idiomatic meaning of 'good things'. "What kind of rice cake is this?" Or there's a funny Korean expression like, "If you listen to me, you'll get rice cakes even in your sleep." In short, it means, "What a windfall!" and "If you listen to me well, you will get lucky even in your sleep."

02. Rice cake! How's the texture?

What the heck does tteokbokki taste like? Some of you will think so. The texture of the mochi is really interesting. When I ate rice cake for the first time in my life, I was surprised by its unique chewiness and firm texture. It has a soft, deep and light taste like cheese, and soft and sweet like a pudding. Watching the process of making rice cakes will clear up your curiosity about the texture.

03. You're making rice cake out of rice?

So how do you make rice cakes? The main ingredient is 'rice', a grain from which rice flour is made. Just as bread is made using wheat flour, rice cake is made by steaming or kneading rice flour in Korea. In this process, the unique chewy texture of rice cakes is created!

Now it's time to decorate the mochi with various ingredients. The finished rice cakes, seasonings, and garnishes of special taste are fun friends that can be transformed in various ways. There are many fusion dishes using rice cakes in Korea. For a healthy meal, rice flour is used to make Korean desserts with rice cakes, or tteokbokki is made with rice cakes.

05. How did tteok become tteokbokki?

On Lunar New Year's Day, a Korean holiday, we eat rice cake soup made with bar rice cakes.
There is a story that he accidentally dropped the leftover garaetteok in the sauce, and it tasted so good that he put the sauce in the gochujang base and ate it as tteokbokki.

It is also fashionable to eat spicy tteokbokki among Korean friends, but don't worry. Tteokbokki is not always spicy.

They have a variety of sweet jjajang tteokbokki, cheese tteokbokki, and onion and butter-based tteokbokki.

If you want to know the charm of tteokbokki, it is good to try the simple tteokbokki. These days, there are tteokbokki made so that anyone can eat it easily, such as tteokbokki in a cup or tteokbokki in a pack.

You can also enjoy Korean-style tteokbokki in my room.
