Rice cake
[1][2] Rice cakes are a common snack in the Philippines and Filipinos have created many different kinds.
Putong bigas, the most common type of puto, for instance, is traditionally paired with the savory pig's blood stew dinuguan.
Aside from these, non-dessert rice cakes eaten as accompaniment to savory meals also exist, the most widespread being the puso.
[22] Now, there are hundreds of different kinds of Korean rice cake or "tteok" eaten year round.
Rice cakes are chosen for particular occasions depending on their color and the role they play in Korea's traditional yin-yang cosmology.
