Description
Delight in the rich flavors and chewy texture of traditional Korean cookies known as Hangwa, made with glutinous rice flour and filled with sweet red bean paste.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups glutinous rice flour
- 1/2 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
- A pinch of salt
- Water (as needed)
- Red bean paste (for filling)
- Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix 2 cups of glutinous rice flour with 1/2 cup of honey and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water until the mixture forms a smooth, pliable dough.
- Knead gently for about 5 minutes until the dough becomes elastic.
- Divide the dough into small balls, approximately the size of a golf ball. Press each ball flat to create a small disc.
- Place a teaspoon of red bean paste in the center of each disc. Fold the dough over to cover the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
- Steam the filled cookies in a bamboo or metal steamer over boiling water for 15-20 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before sprinkling with toasted sesame seeds.

Dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finish. Pair with green tea for a delightful experience.
