Omg no, the sauce is good though, if you like tteokbokki. You can also keep it and use it with noodles.

They had plain unsliced ones too? Wow, Trader Joe’s is killing it with all the new Korean products they’ve released lately!

No worries, just wanted to make sure I’m giving correct recommendations. I was at Trader Joe’s this week and they had frozen tteok, but the sliced type that’s used in tteokguk (rice cake soup). Perfect for the new year! They also have frozen tteokbokki, which was surprisingly good. The packaging for both say “product of Republic of Korea.”

Are you looking for tteokbokki or tteok (the plain rice cakes that are used to make tteokbokki)?
