Garae-tteok (가래떡) is a long, cylindrical tteok (rice cake) made with non-glutinous rice flour.[1][2] Grilled garae-tteok is sometimes sold as street food.[3] Thinly (and usually diagonally) sliced garae-tteok is used for making tteokguk (rice cake soup), a traditional dish eaten during the celebration of the Korean New Year.[4] The world record of the longest garaetteok was achieved in Dangjin, South Korea in 2018, with 5,080 metres (16,670 ft).[5]
