Its usually a hot spicy dish with scallions and peppers. Same?


no these things are not like Korean rice cakes you describe. they come
in a stack or two and are square in shape, in a very tight vacuum seal
package, with an all chinese script red label. they're hard as a rock.
i tried steaming for a while but nothing happened, then i tried boiling.
still nothing. and if i remember it correctly it emitted a not very
pleasant smelt during cooking [like glue?]. well it cost only 50 pence,
i'm just gutted i don't know what they're for.

Sounds very similar to the Korean rice as I've seen it in the stores. They come
vacuumed sealed and are hard as a rock. I never prepared them at home though.

I wonder what you're using.
