Natural Rice Cake Tteokbokki Topokki 450G

it’s decent for 3AM binge eating, mix it with some buldak noodles and vibe out twin.

I only saw other reviews after mine had dispatched so took a chance. The packaging is different On arrival. Not Korean but Chinese but they are the same thing. On opening there is a glue type smell but it isn't strong. There is a thin sheet between them so remove 'obviento' I washed these thoroughly and that removed the initial smell. When soaking these they don't become any softer. But nae worries as once added to your sauce they soften up nicely! It was our first time trying these and we loved them. They have little to no taste on their own but once they are added to your sauce ( have to say mine was perfect balance of sweet, salty and spicy) Then these little beauties come out as a lovely soft yet chewy texture. Glad I tried them. Ordered some more already but please bring the price down or I'll be going elsewhere for future purchases. UPDATE........... * Since purchasing the price has increased twice 1st purchase 9.99 then up to 10.49 and now 12.99 so Korean food Mart online is where I'll be going. Feel the seller is being really greedy in their pricing this is now 4 x the price of other rice cakes and half the weight! We have a Korean barbeque every four weeks so you've lost a regular customer.

These rice cakes have a great, chewy texture and taste very authentic. They are perfect for a quick Tteokbokki fix and absorb sauces well without becoming too mushy. However, be prepared to eat them quickly! Because they are "natural," they lack heavy preservatives. You must finish the pack within 1–2 days of opening, or they will definitely start to grow mold. It’s a bit of a rush to finish the 450g alone, but the quality is worth it if you’re cooking for a group.

Absolutely love them I will buy again.

I LOVE tteokbokki, but they come as one package & go off very quickly once opened. These are great otherwise!

Glorious.

Lovely product but goes off and mouldy within days despite being well wrapped up again. Can’t use the whole thing in one go, so had a third of the pack and then went to use the rest (wrapped up well and stored in a cool dark cupboard) a few days later and was covered in mould. This happened with the last pack too! Won’t be buying this one again

Love tteokbokki and this product is a good way of making a meal at home for the price. The whole pack is roughly two servings. Great texture when cooked and doesn't taste of anything- which is good lol, you want the meal's flavour to come from the sauce. I will say that you shouldn't attempt to separate them before soaking them in warm (not hot) water, otherwise you'll fight with them and they'll win. And I suggest to freeze any uncooked sections, as they will mold relatively quickly if you don't prepare and eat them from when they arrive- a few days tops.
