halmon
Halmon refers to a traditional Korean rice cake or tteok made with glutinous rice flour and commonly shaped into a cylindrical or oblong form. It is a staple in Korean cuisine, often consumed during holidays, celebrations, and as a daily snack. The preparation typically involves steaming glutinous rice flour, kneading it into a dough, and then shaping it. Halmon can be enjoyed in various ways, either plain, dusted with bean powder, or served in a sweet syrup.
The texture of halmon is characteristically chewy and slightly sticky due to the use of glutinous rice.
