Soodaks

Soodaks are a type of traditional Korean confectionery, typically made from a mixture of rice flour, sugar, and water, which is then shaped into small, round balls. The term "soodak" is derived from the Korean word "sudak," which means "sweet." Soodaks are often flavored with various ingredients such as cinnamon, sesame, or walnuts, and are typically coated in a thin layer of sugar or sesame seeds for added texture and flavor.

The history of soodaks can be traced back to the Joseon Dynasty in Korea, where they were popular among the royal court and nobility. Over time, soodaks have evolved and spread to other parts of Korea, becoming a staple in Korean cuisine and a popular treat during festivals and celebrations.

Soodaks are typically enjoyed as a snack or dessert, often paired with tea or other beverages. They are known for their chewy texture and sweet flavor, making them a favorite among both locals and visitors to Korea. In recent years, soodaks have also gained popularity in other countries, with various international brands producing their own versions of this traditional Korean treat.
