Beautiful Tock!

I LOVE these Korean rice cakes! In Korean, it is called Tock. There are various kind of Korean rice cake. Korean people eat Tock on New Year's day. I wish I could eat this rice cake in Korea.

It tastes sweet, but not too sweet. People usually eat this Tock with tea.These Tock contain a lot of protein. I really miss these Tock. When I was an elementary school student, I used to eat these rice cake every New Year's day. And New Year's day is drawing near.

Also, there are various Birthday cakes made by Tock.

I have never eaten this birthday cake made by rice cake, but I really want to try when I go to Korea. It looks very beautiful and delicious!

If you spend your birth day in Korea, I recommend you to eat this birthday rice cake not normal cake. It is cheaper than Japanese normal cake :)

Japchae

This time, I'd like to show you Japchae, typical Korean food. Korean people cook this when they serve their guest with a variety of dishes. So you can see this dish on special day such as New Year's day and someone's birthday.

How to cook this Japchae is something like this;

First, you have to cook noodles in hot water for a few minutes,and stir-fry vegitables and meats.

After that, mix them up.It looks so simple, but it's one of very elaborate dishes for Korean people. So my mother hardly tries to cook Japchae. But my grandmother used to cook this for us when we were small.

Although it takes so much time to cook Japchae, it really tastes good. I'm sure you'll like it.
