Rice cakes have a rich history dating back to ancient Asia, where they were a staple food. These crispy, puffed snacks are made from rice that has been cooked, dried, and then shaped into round discs. In Korea, they are known as "tteok" and are often enjoyed during celebrations and festivals. The traditional method of making rice cakes involves pounding steamed glutinous rice into a sticky dough, which is then formed into cakes. Today, rice cakes are enjoyed worldwide and come in a variety of flavors, from savory to sweet. In Korea, the best rice cakes can be found in traditional markets and specialty shops, where skilled artisans craft them by hand. Whether enjoyed as a snack or part of a meal, rice cakes continue to be a beloved culinary delight.
