Lotte Food Launches Shelf-Stable Ready Meal Tteokbokki 'Uiseong Garlic Tteokbokki'

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Saeng-hye] Tteokbokki that can be easily made and enjoyed not only at home but also outdoors such as camping has been released.

On the 17th, Lotte Foods announced the launch of ‘Uiseong Garlic Tteokbokki,’ a room-temperature ready meal tteokbokki that features a sharp flavor by adding Uiseong garlic.

Uiseong Garlic Tteokbokki is a product that adds the unique aroma and spicy taste by finely chopping Uiseong garlic, a specialty of Uiseong-gun, Gyeongbuk, into the spicy tteokbokki sauce. The sauce, made with carefully selected red pepper powder, soy sauce, corn syrup, and sun-dried salt, offers a deep flavor.

The tteokbokki rice cakes are made of 99.1% rice, characterized by a more chewy and savory taste. Compared to wheat cakes, they maintain elasticity and chewy texture even after long boiling, and the more you chew, the more savory they become. The length of the rice cakes is about 5 cm, making them convenient to eat in one bite.

Uiseong Garlic Tteokbokki is released as a room-temperature product, making storage and portability convenient. Using a patented rice cake processing method for long-term preservation, the product can be stored at room temperature for 6 months without spoilage, allowing consumers to eat with confidence. It is not only easy to cook anytime at home but also convenient to bring for outdoor activities such as camping.

The product consists of tteokbokki rice cakes, tteokbokki sauce containing Uiseong garlic, and large dried green onion flakes. One pouch contains 382g, enough for two people to enjoy, and you can enrich the dish by adding fish cakes or ramen according to your preference.

After rinsing the rice cakes and soaking them in water for about 5 minutes, add the soaked rice cakes, sauce, and green onions to 200 ml of water and boil for 6-7 minutes to complete delicious tteokbokki. For a different taste, you can also enjoy ‘Oil Tteokbokki’ by following the cooking instructions on the back of the product.

Uiseong Garlic Tteokbokki is currently available through various online channels such as Lotte On, Coupang, Gmarket, Auction, and 11st. There are plans to expand sales to offline stores in the future.
