Description
Delight in the unique flavors and textures of traditional Korean cookies, known as hangwa, made from glutinous rice flour, sweetened with various fillings, and steamed to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup glutinous rice flour (sweet rice flour)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup red bean paste
- 1/4 cup chestnuts, chopped
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, and salt. Mix them well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
- Gradually add water to the mixture, stirring continuously until it reaches a thick, batter-like consistency.
- Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes to allow moisture absorption.
- Take a portion of the dough and flatten it, creating a disc about two inches in diameter.
- Place a small dollop of red bean paste in the center and fold the dough over the filling, sealing it completely.
- Prepare a steamer and line the basket with parchment paper. Arrange the filled dough balls in the steamer.
- Steam the cookies for about 15-20 minutes until they are glossy and firm to the touch.
- Allow the cookies to cool slightly, brush with honey, and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
These cookies can be customized with different fillings. Ensure the dough is sealed tightly to prevent leakage during steaming.
