Rice Cakes for Hotpot or Tteokbokki 450g

Tteokbokki (떡볶이), or simmered rice cake, is a popular Korean food made from small-sized garae-tteok called tteokmyeon or commonly tteokbokki-tteok. Eomuk, boiled eggs, and scallions are some common ingredients paired with tteokbokki in dishes. It can be seasoned with either spicy gochujang or non-spicy ganjang -based sauce; the former is the most common form, while the latter is less common and sometimes called gungjung-tteokbokki.

Rice cakes are soft and chewy and are commonly sold by street vendors in Korea, but it is now also available in Riga (Latvia), Tallinn (Estonia) and Vilnius (Lithuania). The rice cakes provide a chewy texture while the sauce is packed with flavour!

These rice cakes can be used for soup, hot pot or stir-fried dishes. Hint! This dish is very easy to make vegan!
