Today Ill show you how to make a homemade Korean rice cake called garaetteok. tteok means, rice cake. But what about garae? What is it, and what does it have to do with this rice cake? There are a few theories about that. One of them is that garae comes from the verb gaeuda which means to divide. Some people think this rice cake got its name because its always divided into pieces before its rolled and stretched. The other theory is the name comes from a Korean farming tool called a garae, which is a type of spade. A garae has 2 thick ropes attached to the side of it so that 2 helpers can pull the ropes and make the digging go faster.Some people think those ropes look a lot like garaetteok, which is how the rice cake got its name.
