Recipe Monday #10: Korean Tteokkochi Skewers


Welcome back, everyone! As the temperature begins to drop, this means less going out and a whole lot of hibernating. And while it may be easier to just put together your favourite chili, why not test your kitchen skills? For those interested in trying new cuisines, this one’s for you. Korean tteokkochi aka Korean rice cakes; they’re crispy, chewy, sweet and make the PERFECT snack. Luckily, tteokkochi (as well as many other Korean dishes) can be made vegan!

Local supermarkets that may carry the Korean ingredients used:

Épicerie Coréenne & Japonaise

Marché Oriental Jang Teu

G & D Supermarket
