there are alot of korean markets in SF, Oakland, and Sunnyvale as there are many Korean residents there. Just look on yelp – it should help.
There are couple of Korean Markets in SF on Geary Blvd in the Richmond District as well as one in Daly City near the movie theatre. Here is a link for more info.

Please note that Kuk Jea Market has since moved to the Daly location and no longer at the Noriega location.

Hi Maangchi! I’m wondering how long can u cook the thin sliced rice cake for. Will it go mushy if you cook it too long? If I want to use it to make ddukbokkie, how do I know when it’s done? Thanks!
Are you looking for this recipe? http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/ddukbokkie Check the recipe please.
I’ve actually seen the recipe for ddukbokkie from your website and I’ve tried it with the thin oval shaped rice cake but it was a bit mushy. Have I stirred it for too long? or not long enough? Was I supposed to soak the rice cake first in cold water? thanks!
oh, I see! You used the thinly sliced rice cake that is usually used for rice cake soup. Don’t cook it as long as you would cook the tube rice cake.
Hi do you have a recipe to make the tube shape rice cake as shown above? thank you.
I tried to find the rice cake to make 떡볶이, But I could only find a really thick and long 떡 rice cake…
Can I still use that to make 떡볶이?
Yes, you can make ddukbokkie with the rice cake which is longer and thicker. It’s called garaedduk in Korean. You can slice it thinly to make “ricecake soup”, too.

http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/ddukbokkie
I really want to cook my own ddukbokkie, unfortunately i can’t find the ingredients. can you pls tell me the recipe on how to make dduk? by the way, I am a filipina & always visit your web site.
Melissa,
I’m sorry I don’t know how to make the ddeok for ddukbokkie. It is made with ddeok machine.
Dear Maangchi,
Could you please inform me how to buy a ddeok machine? I am trying to find this online but cannot find a place where I can buy the machine online. I used to live in Los Angeles, we always had deuk to make deuk soup and duek boki. My wife is Korean. Now we had military travel orders to go to Ankara, Turkey. Needless to say, there are no Korean stores here in Turkey. If I can find a way to make the long cylinder looking ddeuk (white rice or brown) then I can make at least two receipes that my 2 little children and wife really like. We miss being next to Korea town but we will be here in Turkey for at least 2 years. Any ideas? Your help is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Gerald
Hi Maangchi,
I enjoy eating rice cake in spicy sauce. As i live in Norway where I could hardly find korean food. Can you tell me the ingredients to make the rice cake? What do i need in order to make dduk? Hope to hear from you. Thanx!
hi.. give me your rice cake recepi
jas,
Thank you for the good information!
Hi all Singaporean korean foodies, just to let you know… there’s this korean store in Novena Square 2 (New Wing) that sells hand made korean rice cakes. They got a good variety of the rice cakes, the tube shaped ones, the ones for soup and even rice cake deserts. The bean paste sauce for dukkbogie is super thick and nice, handmade too… (Must try recommended). If you guys wanna try the sauce, pls try to be there early coz its sold out real fast…By the way, there’s a good korean restaurant beside it… also must try…
Hi Maangchi
Thanks for uploading the korean food videos.It’s very interesting.

Chris,
Yes, some recipes don’t have videos. You’re right.
I hope I can visit Singapore to meet my fans someday!
You are encouraging me a lot! Yes, I will keep posting my video recipes as many as I can.
Sorry to disturb you again… :( Are you going to post some more recipe videos? I really do hope that you can come to Singapore for a fan club meeting! Have been spreading the news to people about this fantastic website… THANKS.
I LOVE your recipes! Going to try then out soon(once I get the ingredients)! I have been watching the videos for the whole day! Some recipes do not have the videos though…
Do you know where to buy Korean Kitchenware and those utensils in Singapore? By the way, do you know of any nice Korean restaurants in Singapore? Sorry to ask so many questions…
THANKS IN ADVANCE… I look forward to your WONDERFUL reply!:)
Wow, Korean Food Festival! It sounds interesting. I think Korean food must be very popular in Singapore.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the information! I was too blur! Do you conduct any cooking classes or is there any chance that you may come to Singapore to visit? There is going to be a Korea Food Festival in Singapore on 1 Nov and 2 Nov at Vivocity. Will you be there? I love Korean food so I’ll be there. As a Korean foodie, I hope you’ll be there to give a live demonstration! Do the stores that you mention sell Korean foodware? Once again, THANKS MAANGCHI! I’M A GREAT FAN OF YOURS!
Chris,
I posted the address and contact number of Korean grocery store in Singapore on the forum. Here is the link:

Hi Maangchi!
In Singapore, do they sell the dduk? I am not sure. Do you know where to buy them? Do you know any Korean cook in Singapore that holds Korean food cooking classes? I would be interested! What’s the title of your cookbook? Do you know of they sell it in Singapore? Which bookshop? Thanks in advance!:) I look forward to your quick reply!
Urmy,
I don’t know how to make this rice cake. I always buy it when I make ddukbokkie.
Leave your questions on the forum. Someone else may give you good answer.
Maangchi,
Can you tell me step by step to make rice cake by myself so that I can try making ddukbokkie? The area I live in doesnt sell such tube shape rice cake :(
Thnaks in advance.
Mia,
Thank you for your interest in my recipes. The rice cake you mention is called “siru ddeok”. You can use mung beans, but usually red beans are used. I’m going to post the recipe with video someday in the future. Thank you!
Maangchi,
I’m so glad to have found you. I’ve been trying to locate for the last 2 years the recipe for your dak kim? crispy sweet chicken recipe and happen to find it on ebay. I’ve shared your website with my colleauges and they love it. GREAT! I love Korean food. How do you make the rice cake with the mung bean/soybean powder on between the layers? not like the one that you have hear stuffed inside? Love your cookbook too.
Lor,
wow, you can make patbingsoo? Actually you don’t need to add ddeok in bingsoo if you have difficulty finding the ingredient. You can use sweet red bean, milk, fruit cubes, and sugar. This rice cake is for ddukbokkie. If you want to use dduk (or ddeok) in your bingsoo, it should be ddeok made of sweet rice powder (chapsal ddeok) which is more sticky and chewy than usual rice.
I know what you are talking about! Don’t get disappointed. : )
Is this the same dduk that I can use when making bing soo? I have been in search of that delicious rice cake goodness (the dessert shop where I do buy bing soo won’t sell me any. BOOOOO). Unfortch, I don’t speak/read korean so when I go to the Korean groceries, people have no idea what I’m talking about. :-(
Chris,
Thank you for your encouraging comment. “Dak kal bi”(chicken dish) is already one of requested dishes. I will keep it in mind. : )
When are you planning to put this one up?
Thank you very much!
Your blog is amazing. You’re doing a wonderful thing, helping all of us learn about your culture. Most people think Korean cooking is inaccessible because there are so many ingredients that we don’t normally see in the Western world, but you’re helping to change that. The world needs more people like you. Keep it up!
I know you must be extremely busy and have a gigantic list of requested recipes. I would like to request one as well. Would you be able to show us in the future how to make Dak Galbi/Tak Kalbi?
Hi
You can keep it in the freezer if you don’t use the rice cake for a couple of days. When you are ready to use it, take it out from the freezer and thaw it. Rice cake get harder in the refrigerator.
Hi Maangchi!
I went to the Korean grocery store and picked up a package of rice cakes (dduk) and I’m wondering how long they’ll keep for. There is no date marked on it, and it wasn’t refrigerated.
Should I put it in the fridge if I’m not going to use it for another 2 days or so?
Thanks!
I am very glad to discover this bloog for korean cook. I love korean food, My name is Kim I am korean, but I left korea when I was 3 years old and I growed up in Geneva Switzerland. I already tried to cook different recipes. So delicious. I would like to now if we can make the rice cake for dduk like the other rice cake ?
I thank you in advance for your answer
Kim
