Korean rice cake, which is called dduck, is a typical type of snack food most Koreans enjoy. It's one of the most popular party treats as well. There are well over a hundred different varieties of dduck in Korea. First of all, there is the "ga-rae dduck". This is the kind used in soups and in dishes like dduck-booki. Basically it's made from rice that is ground up, steamed, and rolled into thick noodles. And then there is the "special occasion dduck". Most of those are quite sweet. My favorites are injul-mi and song-pyeon. Injul-mi is made from sticky rice coated with bean powder. Song-pyeon is rice cake stuffed with things like honey and sesame seeds. Both are normally a litte smaller than the size of a ping pong ball and are easy to eat.
