sticky rice cake
Pounded glutinous treat
A sticky rice cake is a dense, chewy confection made from glutinous rice flour, common across East and Southeast Asian cuisines.
The texture ranges from soft and pliable to firm, depending on preparation.
Chinese nian gao, Japanese mochi, and Korean tteok are all varieties.
They may be sweet or savory, steamed, fried, or grilled: We grilled sticky rice cakes until they puffed up.
