Garraettok with Saucy Minced 'Meat'

Hiii Kim, hmm rice cake sticks have a really unique chewy texture, so they’re a bit tricky to replace exactly. If you’re looking for the closest alternative, thick noodles (like udon or flat rice noodles) would work best. They won’t be quite as chewy, but they’ll still pair really nicely with the sauce. Sticky rice could also work. Honestly, the best part is the saucy mince topping, so any base you enjoy should be delish. Hope you enjoy the recipe if you're able to give it a try 🫶

If there is no veggie ground available, brown some crumbled tofu in the pan with the oil of your choice and flavour it with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked Paprika and a Bit of soy Sauce - optional you can add some nutrional yeast to enhance the umami flavour or some chili powder to give the „mince“ a little heat kick.

Hey hey, Serena Di+Sabatino! And thanks for the lovely suggestion, Jonas 🤗

Our veggie ground is from a local grocery store called Albert Heijn. It has a dry texture and resembles already-cooked ground meat, so it's most similar to an already-made ground mock meat. Other brands that offer similar products are Vegetarische Slager and Vivera. If you don't have access to any of these, another alternative is something like Beyond Meat, but these usually need to be fried a bit first to brown them, and then you can use them as we did in this recipe. Hope this helps for now ☺️

Ok got it now!! Thank you 🙏
