I love getting a glimpse into other countries and their specialties! I really like dried fruit and nuts - never thought to pair them with rice but now I'm curious about what the taste would be like!

@cupcakechef The ingredients are just easy to find and you can combine other kind of edible nuts that is available in your country and I think it will be okay too.

I like eating this rice cake while drinking corn tea which is also a popular kind of tea in Korea.

Sounds good.

My granny used to make me hot rice with butter and sugar when I was little.
Putting some fruit and nuts in it sounds good.

When I saw the title, I thought it was going to be like a rice pudding, but it appears to be more of a cake product. Rice is a nice inexpensive ingredient, so I always have it on hand. I love nuts and raisins, so I might have to try this at some point, probably when the weather cools off a bit.
