Garae-tteok

Garae-tteok () is a long, cylindrical "tteok" (rice cake) made with non-glutinous rice flour. Grilled "garae-tteok" is sometimes sold as street food. 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.
Preparation.
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. The method forms a thick, cylindrical rice cake, around in diameter. 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.
