You know, I seriously can't imagine a dish with rice cake which is on the salty side rather than sweet, i'm used to it with sweet taste. I can't imagine it but I am always curious how would it taste. I think this is the first time I heard of this dish of Japan. I know tteokbokki, that korean food but I haven't tried that one as well. So Ozoni has a clear soup very different from tteokbokki
I totally agree with you! For most people, the image of mochi is probably a sweet dish, right?
Oh yes, except for Korean tteokbokki. This type of Japanese mochi dish isn’t sweet. Actually, the mochi itself doesn’t have a strong flavour in this soup. The soup base is soy-sauce–based, so the mochi adds a nice stretchy, chewy texture, which makes us really happy!
