Garae-tteok (가래떡) is a long, cylindrical tteok (rice cake) made with non-glutinous rice flour.[1][2] Grilled garae-tteok is sometimes sold as street food.[3] Thinly (and usually diagonally) sliced garae-tteok is used for making tteokguk (rice cake soup), a traditional dish eaten during the celebration of the Korean New Year.[4] The world record of the longest garaetteok was achieved in Dangjin, South Korea in 2018, with 5,080 metres (16,670 ft).[5]
Preparation
[edit]It is traditionally made by steaming non-glutinous rice flour in siru (steamer), pounding it and rolling it between the palms and the table or rolling it between the palms.[1][6] The method forms a thick, cylindrical rice cake, around 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) in diameter.[4][6] Hand-rolled garae-tteok is not uniform in size and has variations of thickness along its length.
Modern garae-tteok is usually made by extruding the steamed rice flour with garae-tteok machines.[6]
