A 16-ounce frozen package, this Korean rice cake dish comes with bite-sized tteok and a separate gochujang-based sauce. The rice cakes are made in Korea and have the dense, chewy texture that tteokbokki is known for, somewhere between mochi and pasta. Cooking is straightforward: simmer the rice cakes with the sauce until they soften and the sauce turns glossy and red. Trader Joe’s keeps it vegan, and unlike some other items in the freezer case, there’s no extra vegetables or protein mixed in here, just the rice cakes and the sauce packet.
