Chapssaltteok

(Chapssalddeok, 찹쌀떡, Chapssaldduk)

Chapssaltteok is a South Korean dessert made with glutinous rice and red bean paste. Because it is very similar to the Japanese mochi (meaning rice cake in Japanese), some people also refer to chapssaltteok by that name. The dessert is characterized by its dense, chewy texture, and it is quite popular to prepare it at home, especially for children.


The Korean variety is traditionally green in color on the exterior due to the usage of matcha green tea powder. Sometimes, chapssaltteok is given to students who have an important exam coming up, in hopes that it will bring them good luck.
