This, sweet Rice Cake (Gyongdan, 경단) is a Korean traditional snack. It is my husband’s favourite rice cake (I like it too, but if I have it too much, I feel sick, because it is quite sweet.)
We often buy it at Hanaro Mart. (Their rice cake tastes best in this town. I hardly ever buy rice cakes at Homeplus.) Its price is between 2000-2500 won (US $2.10-2.60) depending on weight.
It has sweetened red bean paste inside. Many years ago Koreans believed red beans in food (especially in rice cakes) drives out the devil spirit, so they used it on a baby’s first birthday to wish them long life and health.
please can you drop the recipes?
Do you mean share the recipe? Sorry, I don’t have it yet, but it’s already on my to do list. Stay tuned!
My kids love red bean filling. It’s probably a a good idea to make some for their school snack.
do you kno d different flavors they have of gyundan? I kno there is mugwort (green), but what are the red and white ones?
