rice cake
Crunchy diet disc
A rice cake is a food made from puffed or compressed rice, typically formed into a round disc.
The plain variety is light, crunchy, and nearly flavorless—often eaten as a low-calorie snack or diet food: She topped the rice cake with peanut butter.
In Asian cuisines, rice cakes take different forms—chewy, dense, or glutinous—and appear in dishes like Korean tteokbokki or Japanese mochi.
