Korean steamed rice cake
By NonaDickens
Steamed rice cake is a dish made by putting white rice cake together with beef and vegetables. Although steamed rice cakes are made from most families using rice cakes left over from rice cake soup during the Spring Festival, they turned out to be court food prepared for the emperor. In ancient times, emperors did not exercise much and often suffered from indigestion. At this time, the imperial palace in the kitchen presented the emperor with steamed rice cakes that would not burden the stomach even if he ate meat. Steamed rice cakes are made of bar cakes, so they are softer and easier to digest than other dishes.
