MARBLE RICE CAKE | 마블 떡
New Variation on Rainbow Rice Cake
This rice cake is an inspiration from Mujigae Tteok (traditional rainbow steamed rice cake) with some modern touch. It contains five-colored steamed in shape of marbles. Quite unlike conventional rice cakes, sweetness with some hints of sourness is remarkable. This is an ambitious experiment to open a new chapter for Korean desserts.
