In reply to YH. Glad to hear it! I am afraid acorn squash will be quite different- texture and flavor wise. And you can lay out rice balls on tray without touching, cover tray and freeze for couple hours until ot hardens then you can store them in a bag in the freezer.

Hi! I just made this and it’s delicious! I have two questions:

1. I also have some acorn squash. Would it taste similar?
2. How do you freeze the rice balls so they don’t stick together?

Thank you!

I made this today for breakfast! Kabocha and rice flour were on sale so it cost me maybe $3 to make? Hahaha. The soup is a little bland, which I know is the point. I served it with adzuki beans and fresh toasted sesame seeds. The rice balls took a little more boiling water (about 5tbsp). They were really easy to make and I ended up with 20, 5g balls. Overall it was super easy and tasty.

In reply to lauren. Yes, you can freeze the rice cakes - cooked ones. You can also freeze the hobakjuk too! Thanks for asking.

In reply to Jean. Oh Jean, this is exactly what I want to hear from my readers! That my recipe actually seems something they could easily cook with. I always try to make Korean food more approachable to people so this means a lot to me. Thank you for taking the time to leave me such a lovely comment. I really appreciate it. Have a great day!
