{"product_id":"tteok-bok-ki","title":"Tteok Bok Ki","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt wouldn’t be much of an exaggeration to call tteok bok ki (pronounced tuk-bow-kee) food fit for royalty: the first historical records of this savory and satisfying rice cake dish come from a 19th century Korean cookbook, where it’s cited as an example of court cuisine. Originally served in soy sauce, tteok bok ki took on its modern- day red hue and sweet, peppery flavor profile via one chef ’s introduction of gochujang sauce in the mid-20th century, and has since become a darling of Korean BBQ connoisseurs and street food aficionados the world over. And now, this rich, spicy delicacy of rather royal origins has found a new domain: The freezer aisle at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s. Make way for Trader Joe’s Tteok Bok Ki!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade for us by a supplier in Korea, each package of Trader Joe’s Tteok Bok Ki comes with a portion of bite- sized rice cakes and a packet of fiery, gochujang-spiced sauce. Equally delicious as an appetizer, snack, or meal, especially when topped with a fried egg or freshly grilled Short Ribs. They can be prepared in a more traditional manner, by boiling the rice cakes in water, adding the sauce, and simmering until thick, or made extra crispy by giving them a turn in the skillet or air fryer prior to incorporating the sauce. In either case, they’ll have a delightfully chewy, almost mochi-like texture, and a bold, peppery heat which pairs well with an ice-cold soju or frosted glass of PLZNR Czech Style Lager.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kate's Crates","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43515286945834,"sku":null,"price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/8348\/2666\/files\/webp-1280_a6e845e3-b332-41ec-9eb2-f05477fb34b5.webp?v=1757022554","url":"https:\/\/katescrates.myshopify.com\/products\/tteok-bok-ki","provider":"Kate's Crates","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
