About Korean chewy cake

Chewy Cake, called "tteok" in Korean, is a traditional dessert central to Korean cuisine. Made primarily from glutinous rice flour, this cake boasts a soft, chewy texture that is both satisfying and unique. Variations may include ingredients like red bean paste, sesame seeds, nuts, or natural flavors derived from green tea or pumpkin, offering diverse taste profiles. Tteok is often steamed and can be lightly sweetened, making it a low-fat dessert option compared to butter or oil-based Western pastries. Its primary ingredient, glutinous rice, provides carbohydrates for sustained energy but is low in fiber and protein. While tteok is generally free from artificial additives, it can be high in sugar depending on the recipe. A cultural icon enjoyed during Korean holidays and celebrations, Chewy Cake offers a taste of tradition with a balance of wholesome ingredients.
