3 Simple Ways to Make Tokbokki Rice Cake with Leftover Rice at Home
Mix the tapioca flour and knead until smooth
First, put a little tapioca flour on the table so that the rice doesn’t stick while kneading.
Next, put on gloves and add a little tapioca flour to your hands or cooking oil if desired, squeeze and knead the cold rice that has been mashed until it forms a uniform, smooth, and non-sticky mass.
Tip: At this step, depending on the moisture of the cold rice you use, add the tapioca flour gradually, kneading until the mashed cold rice becomes smooth and elastic like a dough.
Dough Division and Shaping
After kneading the rice into a dough, divide it into pieces of your desired size. Next, roll each piece of dough into a ball and then roll it evenly to form long strands about the thickness of half a finger.
Finally, cut the dough into small pieces about half a finger long or cut them to your preference.
Completion
With this leftover rice tokbokki dish, you can boil it in hot water for about 5 – 7 minutes to make spicy stir-fried rice cake or make tokbokki hot pot, both of which are very delicious.
Additionally, a more convenient way is to fry the cakes until golden brown and sprinkle with cheese powder to enjoy!
If you don’t use all of it, you can put it in the freezer to preserve it and eat it gradually!
Tip: If you can’t find cheese powder, you can boil or fry the tokbokki and serve it with chili sauce, which will also be very tasty.
Final Product
The tokbokki rice cake made from leftover rice will surprise you because it is extremely delicious and attractive, just like the “authentic” ones.

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken eggs
- For industrial chicken eggs, you can easily observe the eggshell. Fresh chicken eggs usually have a dark brown shell, even in color, with no cracks and no black spots. In contrast, eggs that have been stored for a long time have a pale shell and more black spots.
- You can use your hand to touch the surface of the eggshell; if the surface is rough and slightly coarse, it is a fresh chicken egg, while a smooth surface indicates that the egg has been stored for quite some time. When a hen has just laid an egg, the small pores on the eggshell have not yet closed, which makes it feel rougher.
- Hold the egg up to the light, and you will see a small air cell, the yolk is round, balanced in the center of the egg, with an orange or light pink color, and the white is transparent, indicating that it is a new egg. If the air cell is large, the yolk is red and has spots, then it is an old egg.
- You can hold the egg and gently shake it near your ear to listen. If you hear a sound, it means the egg has been stored for a long time; the louder the sound (the contents inside moving), the more likely it is that the egg is spoiled or that the hen is still incubating it. Conversely, if there is no sound, it is a fresh chicken egg.
