Tteok (떡) (Korean pronunciation: [tʼʌk]; also spelled ddeock duk dduk or thuck) is a class of Korean rice cakes made with glutinous rice flour (also known as sweet rice or chapssal) by steaming. Normal rice flour can be used for some kinds of tteok. There are hundreds of different kinds of tteok eaten year round. In Korea it is customary to eat tteok guk (tteok soup) on New Year’s Day and sweet tteok at weddings and on birthdays.
