Korean Rice Flour Powder (MepSsalGaru for Tteok)[/caption]
How to Make Rice Flour (Maepssalgaru or tteok ssal garu or ssal garu) for Korean Rice Cakes (Tteok)
I was working on my post for Songypeon recipe yesterday and I realized that if you live outside of Korea, you may have a hard time finding the right kind of rice flour to make the Korean Chuseok Tteok called Songpyeon. Some big Korean stores may sell the special rice flour but that's not always easy to find. So I experimented at home to find the best recipe on how to make rice flour from short grain rice - Maepssalgaru 멥쌀가루 or Ssalgaru 쌀가루 for short. This Korean Rice Flour for Rice Cakes is also sometimes called Tteok Ssal Garu 떡쌀가루 for obvious reasons.
OH! OH! Before I forget, don't forget my Korean Language Book Giveaway! It ends next Monday 16th. Follow me to enter the giveaway - more details in the post.
I know it's kind of confusing but they all refer to the same thing; a rice flour or powder made from soaked short grain rice while it is still wet. NOTE, there's a really confusing thing here. Even I used to get confused before when I didn't know much about making Tteok.
