Purpose: The study was conducted to analyze the change in quality characteristics of Ddukguk Garaedduk and Ddukgukdduk by the frequency of extruding rice dough. Methods: Ddukguk Garaedduk samples were made by extruding and shaping rice flour dough 2, 3, and 4 times; while Ddukgukdduk samples were made by drying the Ddukguk Garaedduk at room temperature for 48 hours and slicing them in slices of 0.3 cm thickness. Results: Significant differences were not found in water content by the extrusion frequency for Ddukguk Garaedduk and Ddukgukdduk. The adhesiveness and springiness of Ddukguk Garaedduk with a 4 times extrusion were significantly higher than those of Ddukguk Garaedduk with a 2 times extrusion. Ddukgukdduk with a 4 times extrusion generated finer cells and a more even distribution of cells than the other samples, as observed by scanning electron microscopy. Upon boiling, significantly more water was absorbed in Ddukgukdduk of a 2 times extrusion than in that of a 4 times extrusion. Hardness and adhesiveness scores of the cooked Ddukgukdduk were the highest, and springiness was the lowest in the sample with the 4 times extrusion. Conclusion: The extrusion of rice dough makes the structure of Ddukguk Garaedduk finer and more even, which results in the increased adhesiveness of Ddukguk Garaedduk. When cooking Ddukguk, Ddukgukdduk that has been extruded more absorbs less water and dissolves less solids, which maintains the chewiness and structure of cooked Ddukgukdduk.
