How do Koreans make cakes?

How to make a cake requires four processes: washing, steaming, beating and cutting.

1. Wash the glutinous rice first and soak it in clear water for more than ten hours (warm water can be used for a shorter time if you are in a hurry) until you can crush it with your fingers, then take it out and drain it.

2. Put the rice in a steamer and steam it for about half an hour with high fire until the hardness is moderate.

3. Put the steamed glutinous rice on the chopping block and turn it over with a mallet. The person who hits should not use too much force at first, so as not to splash rice everywhere; People who turn over should wipe their hands with clear water and constantly wipe the chopping block, otherwise the cake will stick to the chopping block and cannot be turned out. This sticky cake needs to be beaten as evenly as possible. Generally, it is better to beat the rice grains out of sight.

4. Cut the beaten cake into small pieces and wrap it with bean paste or cooked bean noodles.

If you like sweets, you can dip them in sugar. Those who like salt can eat it with salt. This kind of cake is more sticky and delicious than ordinary rice cakes, and it tastes particularly fragrant.
