Korean Rice Cake, or "tteok," is a traditional staple in Korean cuisine. Made from glutinous or non-glutinous rice flour, these cakes come in a variety of shapes, flavors, and textures—ranging from chewy to soft depending on preparation methods. Common ingredients include rice, water, and salt, with additional flavorings like beans, nuts, fruits, or seeds in some varieties. Frequently enjoyed during celebrations and festivals, tteok is typically steamed, pounded, or fried. Rich in carbohydrates, rice cakes provide energy but are generally low in protein and fiber. Many are naturally gluten-free and minimally processed, making them suitable for certain dietary restrictions. However, some types may contain added sugars or syrups, increasing calorie content. Moderation is key to enjoying their cultural significance and unique taste while maintaining a balanced diet.
