white rice cakes steamed in a long cylindrical shape. no resemblance to american crunchy rice cakes. you can usually buy them in 2 shapes: thin cylinders sliced into 2-inch segments, or thick cylinders sliced into thin rounds. boil them and stir them into any dish for a chewy alternative to regular rice. don't add too much of these to any one dish or your jaw will become tired from chewing them before your stomach is full!
