Tteok are traditional Korean rice cakes that are prepared with glutinous or non-glutinous rice. The cakes are incredibly versatile, and although they are mostly sweet and enjoyed as a dessert, some plain varieties can be incorporated into savory dishes. The usual preparation includes steaming, pounding, or kneading the rice until it transforms into a pliable dough which can optionally be enriched with different ingredients and shaped into various forms. The most popular tteok varieties include songpyeon , chapssaltteok , garaetteok , gyeongdan , as well as many more traditional and modern versions. The cakes are a staple at various special occasions in South Korea, but some are also enjoyed as a sweet, everyday dessert.
