For the people who think rice cake is an iconic Korean food, I admit that but that doesn't mean Chinese people can't make rice cake. Cuisines are related to all different cultures all over the world. I respect that. Rice cake has many different shapes, and versions all over China. We call it Nian Gao (年糕). Nian means the end of the year, and also refers to the Chinese new year holiday, which is around the time when rice matures. When we harvest lots of rice, we will celebrate it by making rice cake (as one of the significant food for the Spring Festival). To make it more pretty, we will make it in different shapes, such as fish, dragon, and peach (these 3 things represent wealth, position, and longevity) Also, in almost every province, people make rice cake by grinding rice into powder, steaming it, and pounding it after. They just have different names. Example: In Yunan province (云南省), it is called Erkuai (饵块), which is made with pure rice. They also have a version that is made with pure glutinous rice called nuomi baba (糯米粑粑). They have been making rice this way for thousands of years. Here are some examples from other provinces: 甜粄 (Chaoshan style)， 糍粑 (Hunan style, my mom's hometown)， 脚踏糕 （Shanghai style, and the areas around Shanghai. This type of rice cake is made of partial glutinous rice and jasmine rice), 白粿 (Fujian style)...

I had rice cakes in Chinese restaurants before I ever had the Korean preparation. And truthfully I like Chinese style better. Tteokbokki is very sweet. I love the very savory Chinese versions with meat or seafood, and lots of wok hei.

Yes rice cake is not a only Korean food. Japan also have it in a few different way and style. But you made a Korean version of rice cake . Especially this version is most common Korean traditional duk recipe and use it in few different dishs... if you love food and making it . If you love China as much as I love Korea and other Asian cultures ... please stop copying other country traditional food and making it as if it's Chinese. That only make Chinese look bad . You are not the only one claims Korean food as Chinese.... China have a lot of food to impress whole world ... think about that .😎✌

Rice cakes aren't just a Korean thing. I'm Hmong American, a tribe of hill people in China, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, etc. We have rice cakes that we make with rice and/or corn. It's called ncuav in Hmong. I remember my grandma would fry it in a pan and serve it with a side of maple syrup. She now has a machine to make rice cakes for her!

I tried it after buying it at a grocery store(Trader Joe’s). I prepped it incorrectly, so it didn’t come out as expected. I’ll try it again(correctly this time!)…

This is the best rice cake recipe I ever found !!! I saw many recipes using glutinous rice flour but they all turned out tasting like a savory mochi so I almost gave up after trying over and over again. Then I found one using regular rice flour but it wasn't really what I was looking for (even though it was much better then the other trys). Then I found your recipe which included combining the two types of rice flour in a 1:3 ratio (which I really like) and my rice cake finally tured out like store bought ones after many failures and a lot of money spend. But anyway thanks for this great recipe now I never have to buy 16€ rice cakes from the asian market again 😭.

This is a life saver as I love rice cakes and I can make them myself rather than spending a great deal of money on frozen ones

I'm a visual learner . Nice step by step to these rice cakes. And really enjoyed learning how to make it from rice.

Mandy, you're amazing. I had no idea rice cakes could be made so easily. I thought they were all factory-made. Thank you so much for this video.

I love your recipes and your videos. I feel like a friend is holding my hand through these. You make it so accessible, and you're so reassuring. Thanks for another great one!

Hi Mandy, I've just made my way back around to this video. I have learned some things since that may help. For the second variation, you might be able to use a cheese press to remove the water from blended rice. You can set the pressure and walk away. This will save those who suffer from arthritis any further stress. I hope that tip helps. ✌🏽

I had no idea these were so simple & straightforward & I'm thankful you shared the tip about the Kitchenaid. I too, have arthritis in my hands (and wrists), but I might try it since I can use the mixer.

Truly a labor of love.... Thanks Mandy!!!

Hi. Do you know how to make / ferment Red Yeast Rice? I liked you rice cake video.

Complimenti 👍 💯

The recipes I’ve seen usually use short grain but not glutinous rice. I tried a version with short grain rice and sticky rice and it was a bit softer than the ones made with all short grain rice. I like rice cakes to be nicely chewy and bouncy. I wonder what texture your ratio produces. I blend the rice with water and then just let it drain in cheesecloth/nut milk bag for a few hours. No need to squeeze! The mixer really helps!

And there's the old school way just pound cooked rice.

I bought a soy milk press years ago, makes projects like these a breeze. No need to squeeze the nut milk bag. You just have to spin the handle which is much easier and doesn't require much elbow grease.

🥺omg it reminds me of my childhood before five, about 22 yrs ago. my grandma took me to a local rice cake factory near another village. My hometown used to be in a country side. It was in December I think, the factory was busy making rice cakes. My grandma encouraged me to add some paint on the rice, which she meant a New Years wish. I thought it immoral so I didn’t 🤔 I remember I watched Huangmei opera several times at that village and I hardly know how there looks like now and I’m overseas 😭

Yeah, me without a KitchenAid and with arthritic wrists, I won't be making these. But thank you for showing us the method, Mandy! I love these and maybe some day I can make them at a friend's house (who has a KA) or something. I look forward to your stir-fried rice cakes recipe.

hello, Lisa, why not try using your feet instead to do the kneading? you can put the steamed dough in a couple of large kitchen sip lock bag, and then stamp hard on it with your heels to flatten it. repeat folding and stepping a dozen of times will do.
