Preparation

It is traditionally made by steaming non-glutinous rice flour in siru (steamer), pounding it and rolling it between the palms and the table or rolling it between the palms.[1][5] The method forms a thick, cylindrical rice cake, around 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) in diameter.[4][5] Hand-rolled garae-tteok is not uniform in size and has variations of thickness along its length.

Modern garae-tteok is usually made by extruding the steamed rice flour with garae-tteok machines.[5]

gollark: I wasn't actually there, so did it do anything which wasn't solved by manually removing it?
gollark: In general, bugs which somehow mess up computer IDs are likely to cause damage *anyway*.
gollark: I don't know how it would have gotten onto computer 0.
gollark: Yes, they decided to bring it up now because someone either randomly installed it or computer 0 did something.
