Frozen Korean Rice Cakes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Trader Joe's New Sliced Korean Rice Cakes Can Be Cooked from Frozen

— December 30, 2022 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's just announced the debut of new Sliced Korean Rice Cakes.

Earlier this year, Trader Joe's released its new Tteok Bok Ki offering. Tteok Bok Ki is essentially a tube-shaped simmered rice cake that's popular in Korean cuisine. Now, Trader Joe's is offering another Korean rice cake product for consumers to enjoy. The new Trader Joe’s Sliced Korean Rice Cakes are flat, oval-shaped rice-based disks – a shape that's similar to mochi. The rice cakes are sold plain and frozen, so you can whip them out at a moment's notice and use them in a wide variety of dishes. All you need to do is boil the rice cakes for a few minutes, brown in a pan, and then pair them with your favorite sauce, vegetables, or protein.
