Overpaying? Sticky Rice Cakes Are So Easy To Make!

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 just bought a Kitchenaid stand mixer so will use that to make this. I have arthritic hands too so I'm glad I don't have to pound the rice dough. Thanks for the video!

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

I’m sorry, I don’t want to be mean but… you Korean made me do it. Korean learned to make rice cake from China. Just go check out how small and infertile their country is, their veggies even the bean sprouts and cabbage the easiest to grow, are imported from China. Their country’s location and climate created their poor food and culture. Btw, they didn’t even have written words. The words they use were Chinese (they still use Chinese on historical places and documents), what is now called Hangul used to be used as a phonetic alphabet to learn Chinese, which is why Korean people can’t understand individual Korean characters bc they were made to be phonetic symbols, and all of their historical related studies and jobs force require people in these fields to know Chinese very well😂 Some more facts about Korean. They’ve been called white clothes ethnic, not bc they like white clothes, reason is very simple, they didn’t even know how to die clothes till WWI most Korean still only wear white clothes😂 their kings were only subordinate of Chinese Emperors, and cause their kings were too flattering, they repeated courted the Chinese Ming Emperor Zhu Yuan Zhang, so he gave them the Korean king and Korean officials the clothes that represent their subordinate identities of the Ming Dynasty (Koreans now saying these clothes are Korean “traditional clothes”, but the truth is those clothes are from China)😂 their loyal families and officials’ families have colored fabrics to make clothes were also bc they paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty more often than other dependent countries, every time they came, Chinese Emperors gave them many things as a reward, included fabrics. In order to flattered the Chinese emperor, their king even said “it’s the greatest honor to be a dog of the Ming Dynasty”😂does anyone really believe that this country could invent rice cakes and influence all different areas of Chinese people to eat that as a traditional food on New Year’s Day our most important festival😮 the history of eating rice cakes in China is even longer than the history of Korea (Koreans should stop claiming the history of Gogurgyeo as your own. You are two different countries that exist at the same time and developed from different ethnicities. Have you forgotten how badly you were beaten by Goguryeo)😂 Koreans are crazy now. From stealing traditional Chinese festivals to traditional Chinese handcrafts, now you start to steal traditional foods and clothes. I know you love traditional Chinese culture so much, but stealing is not a good deed, you should stop it. Ancient China, as a developed country in ancient times, has a lot of splendid culture and inventions. Some Chinese culture was introduced to Korea in ancient times and was used by Koreans, but what it doesn’t mean that is your own culture, you used for balabala years doesn’t mean it was invented by you, understand? South Korea and Vietnam, one is more crazy than the other in stealing and copying Chinese traditional culture in the 21st century, what about you two fight first🤡

it is not delicious. terribble! why you don't eat normal bread. DISLIKE!

Your English is getting really good! Bravo!

OMG this looks so good! I hope you will make more videos to show how you turn these rice cakes into different items.

Too much talk

To laugh, i saw the video from beginning to end ant this Doesn't look so easy, delicious yes easy not so much.

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.

this young lady if she make her eyes a little bit ,so perfect

Great video. Nicely prepared and directed. 👍

I’ve been wanting to make tteokbokki so I’ll try to make the rice cakes to! Thank you for the lesson ❤

Как всегда, отличная работа

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.

Oh man.. Why are people so ignorant? Its kinda emberassing to think a certain food, hairstyle or ingredient is linked to only one country and one country only and anyone else who presents it to the world is an imposter. Just do your research before you make unqualified comments on the internet, it makes you look stupid otherwise... Instead of the feeling of togetherness and equality, we as humans try to be as divided as possible for no reason. Its sad.

Lol easy but takes a lot of manual labor 😂 come on

I love your content

Do you use your rice water to rinse your hair?

Would 100% glutinous rice flour consider it a dessert texture? I just don't have plain rice flour rn lol. 🌾

Thank you for sharing this! It will save a lot of money and freshly made rice cakes will be much more delicious.

❤❤👍🙋‍♀️🇪🇬👋

ดีใจจัง แอดมิน ใช้แป้ง จากประเทศไทย😊

great video, as usual. thank you

Are these the same or different as Korean teokboki?

No more buying frozen tteokbokki thank you!

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

❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍

당신이 만든건 한국에서는 가래떡이라고 불리는 떡입니다 그리고 떡복이만들기 위해 자른떡은 한국에서는 떡국떡이라고 해서 소고기 나 만두혹은 닭같은 재룔 넣어 새해에 나이를 한살더 먹는다는 의미로 만들어 먹기도 하는 떡이랍니다

I look forward to trying this.

ok but legit rice cakes at the store are still pretty cheap, basically the differnece between the convenience of buying bread and making it yourself... the only real advantage is the freshness or if you're feeding a family of 8

Mashallah looks deliss ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤❤supar

how did the bakery store put a pink thin line in the middle of silinder?

Thank you for sharing your recipe! I loved them.

Sorry, but It’s not easy to make. Even Korean does not believe its worth to spend time and energy to make them. The result is not the same and you need to spend lots of time and energy. So please don’t try at home. You will regret.

What a sweet young lady. And a very good teacher as well.

Making keropok rice and warm to sun..

Which part is the "easy" part ?

Very delicious food anitamaa, always stay blessed my dear

Got

I prefer real rice mochi. Not some fake powder shit.

Thank you for your tipps. Today I will do this the first time and my "horror" was to beat the dough (I have arthritis too). It's fine that it goes with a food processor and dough hook too 🙂

❤👍Thank you for sharing 👍❤️

The thing is....this shape is not traditionally used in chinese cuisine. You imported this from korea. At least give credit. Culture thief

Thank you! Glutinous rice and potato starch are gut healing foods (leaky gut is at the root of most auto-immune diseases) and have excellent glycemic index.
I have extreme Rheumatoid Disease and deformed hands, so use a soy block press. My hands are my enemy but I love making my own Korean and Chinese food without additives.

Good recipe, but looks hard to do haha… these cost approx $2 for a 1kg bag of rice cake where I live, so I will be buying store bought, hehe. But if I ever need pet different shapes of it, I would use this recipe, thanks.

i want to make these for Tteokbokki ❤

😢😢😢
