1. Rice cakes are made from glutinous rice flour, so they are relatively easy to cook. If they are cooked in water, they are usually cooked in water for 2-3 minutes until they are completely soft, or you can cut them into slices and cook them again to make them easier to cook.

2. Bagged hard rice cakes are dry and hard and usually take a long time to cook. It usually takes 3-5 minutes until the rice cake is soft and there is no hard core inside so you can take it out and eat it.

3. Because rice cake is dry and hard, but it sticks to the pan easily when cooked in boiling water. It tastes sticky, so you can soak it in hot water instead of cooking it in boiling water. In this way, the rice cake can be softened, the flavor is strong, and the surface will not stick to the pan.
