I was so surprised that the production team picked tteokbokki (sweet and spicy Korean rice cakes) for me to make!  Neither James nor any of the guests have ever tired Tteok (chewy toothsome sticks made of rice flour)! It was so fun to have everyone try it for the first time. Tteokbokki virgins no more!! 😝😝😝
