What kinds of Korean rice cakes can you find?
Tteok (떡) is the Korean word for rice cake, and it covers a big family of sweets and savory staples. The ones people search for most when they look for a Korean rice cake near me are dessert tteok:
- Kkultteok (honey rice cake): small round bites with a sweet, syrupy center.
- Songpyeon: half-moon rice cakes with sweet fillings, the traditional Chuseok tteok.
- Injeolmi: chewy glutinous rice cake coated in a nutty powder or crumbs.
- Chapssaltteok: soft glutinous rice cakes, often filled or coated.
- Jeolpyeon: smooth, flat rice cakes, sometimes filled with red bean.
Most tteok shops make these fresh daily, which is why they can be hard to find outside Korea. The rice cakes below are frozen and are designed to be eaten after thawing — no steamer needed.

How to serve frozen tteok
- Keep rice cakes frozen until you need them.
- Take out only what you will eat and thaw at room temperature, usually 1–2 hours — check the package for each product.
- Serve with tea or coffee, or arrange a few kinds on one plate for guests.
- Do not refreeze tteok after thawing; eat it the same day for the softest texture.
