Recipe Tips

- Use a steamer basket that fits snugly in your pot to prevent the tteok from falling through the holes. - Make sure the parchment paper is cut to fit the steamer basket and is not touching the sides of the pot to prevent it from burning. - If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a colander or heatproof bowl placed over a pot of boiling water. - Dip the tteok in the sauce or pour the sauce over the tteok before eating. - Double the recipe to make more tteok for leftovers or for a larger crowd.
