About Tteok
Tteok, a staple of Korean cuisine, is a traditional rice cake made primarily from glutinous rice or non-glutinous rice and sometimes mixed with beans, fruits, nuts, or seeds for added flavor and texture. This versatile dish is enjoyed in various forms—steamed, boiled, or pan-fried—and can be prepared sweet or savory depending on the occasion. Tteok is naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it a heart-friendly option for many diets. However, it is predominantly composed of carbohydrates, meaning it should be consumed in moderation if managing blood sugar levels is a concern. Variants like Songpyeon, filled with nutritious ingredients such as sesame seeds or mung beans, can offer added fiber and vitamins. Rich in cultural significance, Tteok is often served during celebrations and holidays, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune.
