Korean rice cakes, known as "tteok," are a staple in Korean cuisine, often enjoyed during celebrations and traditional events. Made primarily from glutinous rice flour, they come in a variety of shapes, textures, and flavors, such as chewy, dense, or soft. Common ingredients include rice, water, sugar, nuts, fruits, and natural food coloring, while savory versions often include sesame oil, soy sauce, or chili paste. As a low-fat and gluten-free food, tteok provides a source of carbohydrates for energy, though its nutritional profile can vary based on preparation. Some versions, like the sweet fillings or fried styles, can be higher in sugar or calories. Rich in cultural heritage, tteok remains versatile, offering both wholesome options like steamed varieties and indulgent treats. Moderation is key if you're watching your intake, especially for sweeter or seasoned varieties.
