Week 3: Korean - Gyeongdan Tteok 떡

I hope everyone has a chance to eat Korean cuisine. I’m fortunate to have Korean restaurants in the area thanks to a higher Korean population. I also have access to a grocer, where I was able to get authentic ingredients for this week’s recipe.

Tteok (or dduk) are rice cakes of various shapes and flavors. I chose to fill mine with red bean paste since I love all things red bean paste! So that makes mine Gyeongdan.

As I’m very much new to Korean Cuisine for cooking (vs eating it) I used a recipe. It came out quite tasty, although I found adding as much flour to the rolling process as she does makes for a crumbly dough. Use your judgement!
