GRC - The most representative snacks in Korea are tteok (떡, rice cakes) and hangwa (한과, traditional confectionery).
In Korea, rice cakes can be eaten as everyday snacks, and also served on special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, and memorial services.
Rice cakes usually have a sweet filling or sweet covering and are made from grains that are steamed or boiled and then shaped in various ways. Its irresistible chewiness is what attracts most Koreans as well as foreigners.
Hangwa is made from flour combined with honey, sugar, or taffy. Depending on the individual recipe, hangwa can have a variety of shapes, flavors, and textures. Yugwa (deep-fried mixture of grain flour and honey), yakgwa (Korean fried honey cookies), jeonggwa (fruits, plant roots, and seeds in sugar) and dasik (a type of cookie eaten with Korean tea) are the main types of Hangwa.
