Songmyeongins

Songmyeongins are a type of traditional Korean confectionery, originating from the Joseon Dynasty. They are small, round, and sweet, typically made from a mixture of rice flour, sugar, and water. The dough is then rolled out, cut into small circles, and boiled in water until they become translucent and slightly translucent. After boiling, the songmyeongins are often coated with a thin layer of sugar or sesame seeds for added flavor and texture. They are often served as a dessert or snack, and are known for their chewy texture and mild sweetness. Songmyeongins are also a popular ingredient in various Korean desserts and beverages, such as songpyeon (a type of Korean rice cake) and songmyeongin tea. The exact origin of songmyeongins is unclear, but they are believed to have been a popular treat during the Joseon Dynasty, and have since become a staple in Korean cuisine.
