Jokpyeon

Jokpyeon is a traditional Korean rice cake made with glutinous rice flour and filled with sweet red bean paste.

Ingredients - Serves 12

In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add water while stirring until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Flatten each dough ball and place a spoonful of sweet red bean paste in the center.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and seal tightly.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the jokpyeon. Cook for about 10 minutes or until they float to the surface.
Remove the jokpyeon from the water and let them cool.
In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry.
Dip each jokpyeon into the cornstarch slurry to coat lightly.
Steam the jokpyeon for 10 minutes to set the coating.
Serve the jokpyeon as a sweet treat or dessert.
