Damn that looks so good I'm gonna have to try and find those tteok somewhere so I can make it myself

I found them at my local grocery store, frozen.

It's actually pretty simple to make them if you can find short grain rice flour (Mepssalgaru). It'll be in the freezer section of your local asian grocery.

Wait you need to soak them in water? So that’s why my first attempt was so gross? Damn…

What texture does the tteok have after cooking?

chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 343d

It’s like a big soft noodle, but rather than chewy/bouncy it’s more gummy. It’s very nice though because unlike gummy noodles, it’s a completely smooth consistency (gummy noodles tend to be gritty and inconsistent).

Something about the pic makes it look like AI slop but it sounds delicious.

It's real slop and real fucking delicious. So glad South Korean cuisine has taken off where I live.
