Sirutteok as Eaten in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha Episode 2
By Tteok Curator
Steamed rice cake, red bean, a moving-in gift — siru first, then the episode 2 recap. Not episode 1.
TL;DR
Episode 2, not episode 1: Hye-jin hands steamed red-bean sirutteok to neighbors as a moving-in gift. Ready Steady Cut recap. Birthday miyeok-guk is episode 13 — no soup site, mention only.
Steamed rice cake. Red bean. A gift when you open a door. Siru, rice flour, a layer of geon-pat. Holiday white siru is already on /recipes/baekseolgi-white-siru. This post is the village gift, not a Chuseok box.
Reported in Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha episode 2: Hye-jin walks it to the neighbors. Ready Steady Cut has the recap. Some blogs say episode 1. They are wrong.
Episode 13’s salty birthday miyeok-guk is real (Dramabeans). We do not have a soup site. One sentence, then stop. Calendar cakes: /blog/top-5-tteok-for-holidays-modern-chuseok-seollal-to-cafe. Chuseok half-moons from a different door: /blog/run-bts-ep22-songpyeon.
