That’s tteokbokki, and it’s delicious.
Isn’t that more like a rice version of gnocchi?
Yes, it’s delicious.
tteokbokki
I thought the rice cakes were called garaetteok - 가래떡, and tteokbokki - 떡볶이 is the dish made with them and spicy sauce and fish cakes.
Either way, it’s delicious.
The big version is called corn. They’re both grass seeds after all.
Corn is at most three times as large
The corn they use to make hominy is bigger than that.
Not an 8oz kernel, admittedly, but definitely double digit rice grain equivalent.
hominy
That is indeed huge
Edit: That is processed. The kernels look thaat large. Biggest form of rice is puffed
I mean, the direct comparison for puffed rice would be popcorn.
The processing for hominy is just soaking in in lime water so that the tough outer skin softens and can be removed. But it is usually made from varieties whose kernels are huge to begin with. (Look up giant white corn.)

Okay, yeah. The Wikipedia article about the processing confused me.

Yes, but I’ve never seen popcorn used in meals. Popped rice has a maggot-like shape and is used with sauce, beans and such
Rice on the cob
Rice is the cob.
This seems spooky I’m scared
Seems like it would be easier to pick off the tree this way too.
Is mashed rice a thing?
congee?
