Finally the most authentic kimchi and banchan shop opened!!! Banchans I bought were all so good just like how things are back in Korea. Currently, fermented kimchis are on sale, it is a good opportunity to stock up fermented kimchi for stew and kimchi bokkeum.

드디어 본격 김치와 반찬가게 오픈!!! 내가 샀던 Banchans는 모든 것이 한국에 돌아온 것처럼 너무 좋았습니다. 현재 발효김치가 판매되고 있어 찌개용 발효김치와 김치볶음밥을 비축할 수 있는 좋은 기회다.

Tteok (Korean: 떡)

 

The best tteok store in centreville VA

Tteok (Korean: 떡) is a class of Korean rice cakes made with steamed flour made of various grains,[1] including glutinous or non-glutinous rice. Steamed flour can also be pounded, shaped, or pan-fried to make tteok. In some cases, tteok is pounded from cooked grains.

Tteok is enjoyed not only as a dessert or seasonal delicacy, but also as a meal. It can range from elaborate versions made of various colors, fragrances, and shapes using nuts, fruits, flowers, and namul (herbs/wild greens), to plain white rice tteok used in home cooking. Some common ingredients for many kinds of tteok are red bean, soybean, mung bean, mugwort, pumpkin, chestnut, pine nut, jujube, dried fruits, sesame seeds and oil, and honey.

Tteok is usually a food that is shared. Tteok offered to spirits is called boktteok ("good fortune rice cake") and shared with neighbours and relatives. It is also one of the celebratory foods used in banquets, rites, and various festive events. Tteokguk ("rice cake soup") is shared to celebrate Korean New Year and songpyeon is shared on Chuseok, a harvest festival.
