About this dish
Omegi-tteok (Korean: 오메기떡) is a type of tteok (Korean rice cakes) particular to the region of Jeju Island, the largest island of the Korean Peninsula. Its traditional form is actually a by-product of the process of making omegi sul (sul is a Korean word for alcoholic beverages). The modern form of omegi tteok uses entirely different ingredients and is packaged and marketed as "traditional" mainly to be sold as a regional specialty snack for visitors. It is now one of the best selling souvenirs among tourists to Jeju Island.
