RICE CAKE

I think the rice cake is the quintessential Korean food. We make it with rice, of course, and we eat it like bread in Korea. And we can make many kinds of food. For example, we make rice cake soup with rice cake, beef, eggs, and so on. We eat this soup on the lunar New Year's Day. And we eat songpyon that looks like a half-moon at Chusok. In addition, we also make new food with rice cake like tteokbokki, a broiled dish of sliced rice cake, meet, and hot seasoning. We make it with rice cake, gochujang(red pepper paste), and boiled fish paste. Anyway, I think rice cake is such a great food to eat, because we can make many kinds of food with it.
