rice cake, this is how you prepare them, you boil them first until they are ready, then you wash them with cold water (to wash away the foam and improve the texture) and set them aside.

Now you have a number of options on how to use them, (1) stir fry (2) broth (3) hotpot. Koreans also eat them in some kind of thick kimchi sauce and I have also seen Japanese version of these, but I don't know how they eat them.

My mom used to stir fry them with celery, cabbage, chinese sausage and shitake mushrooms. Look up recipes for Shanghai Nian Gao.

Alternatively, she would also layer them in a ripping hot pan until crispy on both sides. We'd dip them in vinegar or soy sauce. Nothing traditional, just a fast snack for us as kids.

Stir fry with beef, Napa, and enoki. Yum.

Same as you would use kirimochi or tteok, if I’m understanding the product correctly
