Hi, I just had Ddeok Mandu Guk at my friends….I fell in love with it and want to make it. I have one problem though I cannot seem to find a store were they sell the rice cakes i have looked and looked they dont seem to be there. Is there some sort of place you can buy it online? I live in williamsburg, Va and we dont have any Korean Grocery stores eaither. :[

Hi Crystal,

Do you know Japanese Konbu? I think that is same as kelp (Thick, big, and wide). Laver (Japanese nori) is also a type of seaweed that people use for sushi rolls (maki) or Kimbap if you are familiar with that food.

Well, I have no idea if you can use canned anchovies or not.
I think 5 dried anchovies weigh less than 20g, but I haven’t measure it before. However it is pretty light. The main purpose of using anchovies is to make a deep taste broth. Well I guess if that is the only option you have, give it a try. Or just make a broth with kelp. I sometimes do that too.
Take care.
