hongsi maekom Tteokbokki
$15.20
Chewy, mildly sweet rice cakes for tteokbokki that cook up straight from chilled — just check the label for dietary specifics.
Description
- A dense, springy chew that holds its shape through bubbling sauces and quick stir-fries, never turning gummy.
- Mildly sweet base note that lets your spicy, savory, or soy-based sauce do the talking.
- Cook straight from cold storage — no thawing step means a last-minute tteokbokki craving gets satisfied fast.
- Built for more than one dish: drop them into broths, pan-fry for a crisp-chewy edge, or skewer and grill with a brush of sauce.
- If you’re watching wheat, classic rice-based tteok are free of wheat starch — just double-check the label for any additives or cross-contact.
These squat, cylindrical rice cakes are the heart of every tteokbokki pot. You get that unmistakable Korean street-cart texture: elastic, toothsome, and just faintly sweet from the rice itself.
Simmer them in a gochujang-laced sauce for a sticky, satisfying snack, or toss them into a quick stir-fry with vegetables and a splash of soy. They’re also surprisingly good in a mild broth when you want something warm and filling. Keep a bag in the fridge for the week, or stash extras in the freezer — they go from frozen to tender in minutes.
