hai maangchi,
I live in new york city, I want make rainbow rice cake, where grocery you buy frozen rice flour?
thx u.
안녕하세요 i went to korean grocery store in paris and found 쌀가루 (and yes it s written in korean) but it wasn’t in the frozen section.. And when i visited the frozen section they don’t have 쌀가루 in there so i decided to bought the one i found before to make 가래떡.. But after rewatched ur video and read some comments, found out that “frozen flour” was seem really important.. Furthermore when i read the package thouroughly, i found out that it was produced in america.. So do you think it is still short grain rice flour? Can i still use it to make 가래떡?
Thank you for the respons :D
There are 2 types of ssalgaru that I’ve been using in my recipes so far.
Chapssalgaru (which is dry)

and Mepssalgaru (which is wet & frozen)
https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/mepssalgaru
The reason I use frozen Mepssalgaru in the garaetteok recipe is because the rice flour needs to be made with the short grain rice soaked and ground. Dried rice flour will never work, so you need to buy frozen or make your own: https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/mepssalgaru
I love your rainbow rice cake recipe but I’m still troubled with the flour… you said that it can be homemade too… Is sweet rice = sticky,glutinous rice? Please let me know.
Hi maangichi, I recently foun your page, and I like a lot your videos. I would like to make the rainbow rice cake. I am from Mexico so I do not if I can use any rice flour, because is difficult to find the same ingredients, I have the same problem with the mugwort power. I hope you can get me a tips about this.
Thank you for you time.

You can replace mugwort powder with green tea powder or use food coloring.
