A clever way to repurpose leftover tteokguk rice cakes is going viral.
On March 16, the YouTube channel 'Seo Ha-yan (Lim Chang-jung's wife)' uploaded a video titled "How to Use Up Leftover Tteokguk Rice Cakes." The clip showcases multiple snack and bar-bite recipes using leftover sliced tteok, drawing big buzz from home cooks and anyone curious about cooking.
In the video, Seo breaks down easy methods to make tteok-kkochi (sweet-and-spicy rice cake skewers) and tteokgalbi-style bites (grilled short rib patties) with the sliced tteok. It’s a smart way to keep leftovers out of the trash and turn them into tasty dishes at home.
Viewer reactions were heated. One commenter wrote, "I can’t believe it’s this easy—so useful." Another added, "I had a lot of leftover tteokguk rice cakes, and I just decided tonight’s menu."
