In Korea, glutinous rice is called chapssal (찹쌀), and its characteristic stickiness is called chalgi (Hangul: 찰기). Cooked rice made of glutinous rice is called chalbap (찰밥) and rice cakes (떡=ddeok) are called chalddeok or chapssalddeok (찰떡, 찹쌀떡). Chalbap is used as stuffing in samgyetang.
- Use:
Sticky rice cakes, Batter- Storage:
Keep in the cabinet.- Short Korean lesson: *^^*
ChapSsal (찹쌀)=Sweet Rice
GaRu (가루)=Powder
do u know if the sweet rice flour is the same as the thai glutinous flour??
hi a1mm3,
I’m not familiar with thai ingredients..but if the name is glutinous flour.. I think it should be same with the sweet rice flour. ^^
Hi Aeri, first : I love your cooking videos!! never had any of Korean food before because where i live now there are no Korean restaurants, expect in my home city where a whole lot of Koreans live, there i tried some kimchi and other food:-) But now i recently made some jja jang myun and yesterday your twisted donuts! They simply tasted great!! my husband ate all of them without leaving me any
my question is now, i bought today some rice flour, the Packaging says the following: Glutinous Rice Flour… So will this one work for Sweet Rice & Red Bean Tteok ? or does it better work for TteokBokkI
hi Ellina,
about your question, you got sweet rice flour that works for sweet rice and red bean tteok..but not for tteokbokki.. tteokbokki rice cakes made with short grain rice flour.. thanks 
I’m happy to hear that you and your husband enjoyed my recipes.
for rice cakes, can we just use regular flour that we find at american grocery stores??
HI Lilian xiong,
Well.. the texture and taste will not be same.. so I don’t know what to say.. sorry.. ^^:;
can we order this flour???
i cant find any near my enviroment!!
i really really want to try some dukkbokki but i can only make everything myself because there isnt any korean store near!!
hi Lilian xiong,
Do you have walmart or other big grocery stores ?? they have sweet rice flour. It doesn’t have to be a Korean brand. ^^
Hello Aeri, i hope you can do a steam rice cake~
hi Shawn,
oh..i will add it to my list..thanks
