sweet rice cake
Glutinous pounded treat
Sweet rice cake is a confection made from glutinous rice, common across East and Southeast Asian cuisines.
The rice is pounded or ground into a sticky, chewy mass, then shaped and often filled or flavored.
Japanese mochi, Korean tteok, and Chinese nian gao are all varieties.
Sweet rice cakes appear at festivals and celebrations, though they're eaten year-round: She picked up some sweet rice cakes from the Asian grocery.
