I made Kenji’s version of 떡볶이 and was wondering if the rice cakes are used in any other dishes? I bought a bunch and don’t want to limit my options.

Helpful replies, thanks. I figured I could use them in anything, it was more wondering if actual Koreans use them in anything. This is the first Korean thing I ever made, and I know for example, Italians wouldn’t generally use triofe with ragu, so I was just seeing if there were any proscriptions like that. Although since the OP says ‘boil the poo poo out of it for an hour’ is the default cooking method I’m probably overthinking it :D

My take, this is extremely common in every country on Earth. Sturgeon’s Law says 90% of everything is crap, and this is a figure I tend to agree with. While the platonic ideal of pretty much anything edible is great, the execution is another matter.

Take coffee for example. It’s available in every country on the planet, tens of millions of people make it every day: how many of those cups are great? good? ok? barely passable? horrible?

It doesn’t surprise me that the OP, while loving Korean food, finds it executed poorly everywhere, because that’s the normal state of affairs for most things everywhere.
