How to make traditional Korean rice cake (gyung dan)

[derekbegins]

Tang Yuan, only that this is coated with those dry yummy ingredients then serving them in a sweet delicious soup =)

[Maangchi]

@derekbegins yes, that's right.

[lleemmoo110]

[NazeeraSHINee94]

[NazeeraSHINee94]

maangchi..i hve 2 canned of red bean..and also red bean paste..can i use them?

[Maangchi]

@NazeeraSHINee94 yes, you can. yummy! : )

[nycpd75]

@Maangchi do you know what the name is of that rice food in most asian cartoon/manga i've always wondered :S its like a triangle of rice with a black stripe :S in the cartoons but i cant find the dish :S maybe u know ? cuz i wonder how it would taste :P

[Maangchi]

@nycpd75 oh that's samgak kimbap. I have already posted the recipe video. Check out the video on YouTube or the recipe and the photos along with the video on my website.

[dildowacko991]

you have the cutest little baby butcher knife ever! <3

[pil4r]

Woooow! They sure look tasty!! I wonder how they taste, I tried Japanese mochi cakes  ( daifukumochi) and they're delicious! I can't wait to get home next week and try this recipe ( I'm studying abroad so... :( ) however, I will have to order the ingredients online because in my country it's impossible to find them in a store...wonderful and nice video, like all the videos you make! Sweet! ^_^

[xenia31479]

Maangchi! I just made them! well i used white sesame seeds cause I couldn't find black ones ㅠㅠ but they turned really good^^

I have some questions though! I have a lot of red bean paste that I didn't use and I don't want to throw it ㅠㅠ can I use it elsewhere or how can I store it and for how long? Also, my rice cakes ooze out out some liquid :/ i guess it's water? will they dry? and where can I store them cause I want to give some to a friend in a week!

Thanks a lot! Continue being amazing^^/

[Lemonade566]

Hi, Maangchi ! i don't like red bean can i skip it?

[TheFunnySunnyGirls]

Look so good!! :D

[l0velyStar]

Can I use 'rice flour' instead of 'sweet rice flour' ??

Thank you in advance ^^

[MrMarinaboy2]

Being half Korean my mother used to make these for me and my brothers and sisters. Awesome video.

[utbefan89]

I'm totally gonna make these as soon as I can, I

need to subscribe to your page!!!!

[Maangchi]

@utbefan89 great! Let me know how your gyeongdan (rice cake balls) turns out if you make them!

[dannisjc]

God, I want some kind of ddeok now. =( hehe

Btw, what's the music?

[CookingJames1]

@dannisjc Thank you for loving Korean foods :) The music called "sanjo(산조)", that is a kind of impromptu played by a single instrument. In this case, a Gayageum (가야금) is performed alone, so I can call this "Gayageum Sanjo (가야금 산조)".

[innocent2146]

Maangchi I am wondering how long could I keep it ?

[BrosKamehameha]

i've seen rice cake at dragonball and i thought it was really delicious

[poi2shayne]

my korean friend bought alot of different korean rice cakes and its really delicious the one i love the most was the one with with confectionery sugar outside ...

[ricachu0125]

hello maangchi, i just want to know if i could switch red beans to white beans to make the paste for the filling? i can't find red beans in the nearby store only white. ^___^ as soon as you respond to this, i'll start making them! : ) thanks.

[Maangchi]

@ricachu0125 yes, white beans can be used as a filling. yummy!

[ricachu0125]

@Maangchi wow! ^_____^ i'll start making now! :D super happy!

[Maangchi]

@ricachu0125 Update me how it turns out! ^^

[ricachu0125]

@Maangchi oh i'm done making it. it turns out really good! i liked it sweeter so i added more sugar on the paste then instead of black sesame seeds i used white ones that's only what we have at home LOL.. my mother loved it. so we planned on making more next week for early christmas presents to relatives. thank you so much for the recipe! ^______^

[Maangchi]

@ricachu0125 ooh whoo! Congratulations!

[psok2006]

your the best

[shayshay10112]

instead of a food processor, can you use a potato masher to crush the beans??? ^^

[NunuXSHINee]

can you cook for me ? :d

[7ooor1]

your present accepted

thanks for you wonderful video

nice work

^_^

[JiHun999]

[MyAsianLife2]

[oceanblu85]

Do you have to refrigerate them? I'd love to make them and send them to someone I care about who lives far away :)

[Chorongi]

Do you think maybe you could make korean korokke when you have time?

[myleftylefty]

[Maangchi]

@JiHun999 ow ow! : )

[clyfoung]

I want some RIGHT NOW!! :D I love you, Maangchi!!!!!!

[pepse01]

thats so beautiful~! AND IT LOOKS SO YUMMY~

can u teach us how to make mochi dok with red bean~~~~ pls

[Maangchi]

@pepse01 Sure, it's one of my upcoming recipes. I just posted a new video today. It's rice cake made with glutinous rice flour. You will love it if you like mochi rice cake. The name of the rice cake is injeolmi.

[hpdragon723]

That is awesome! I am going to make that to try it.

[nobody196]

Yaaaay!!! Im ur number one fan! Literally! Im gonna make this one day!

[mtaba86]

hello

can i make ddukbokki with this dough ???

[MiSSloveish]

mmmmmm i wish i could eat them through my computer screen. lol. They look veeeryy deliciouss!! Gonna go and try make them now :) !!! Thankyou for the very helpful video!

[DAIGORO14]

I like steaming the dough like daifuku but it's much harder to work with

[ladythreecats]

Is there a replacement for the Kong Gaa Ru (roasted soyabean powder)? I live in Europe and I can't find it nowhere. Not even in the big oriental store I went to. Please can anyone tell me what the best replacement is for it...I love that taste of the sweet roasted soyabean powder.

[zipurlip2]

@ladythreecats maybe it can be found in the Japanese food section under "kinako"? The powder tastes like soybeans, but is generally unsweetened ~ you just sweeten it up w/some sugar.  It may be more easily found closer to the holidays, as it is used a lot during that time of year.

[kidwidattitude11]

This is amazing! I think I'll try to make it on mother's day!

What is the easiest rice cake that you know how to make?

[JiHun999]

do you know how to make korean potato pancakes?

[espo1848]

She is great cook show in detail.

[MsOutspokenOutcast]

This is kind of like stuffed dango?

[WhoaSmileyss]

instead of using toasted soybean powder, what can i use to make the dough?

[iLullabiestoparalyze]

Thank you for doing this!

[Mitch16]

too bad i can't get my hands on your present!....... nice video.. thanks!

[nangzune]

Maangchi. thank u. I learn a lot koreaan cooking. May I ask what is sweet rice? will that be sticky rice or just normal rice flour?

[Maangchi]

@nangzune sweet rice is glutinous rice which is stickier than short grain rice.

[Clausita26preciosa]

mmm... thank's!! that looks delicious!... what's green sagebrush?

[WoodenRoller]

Oh, this similar to what is sold in Singapore as well, like tang yuan but not in ginger soup! Or like mochi.

[Jyre13]

Simple question to those who's tasted it - is it a sweet thing? ;D

[WoodenRoller]

@Jyre13 Yes, it is sweet. But very tasty.

[StellrMn]

Could the rice cake recipe be used to make garaetteok? I've found the pre-made at stores I'm just interested in making some from scratch plus i have an abundance of rice flour

[ashikaru132]

Can I use this brown sugar that was in a package of Hoddeok I bought? I ran out of anko.

[xFlowerPowerGox]

OMG I went to korea for like a month and I swear I couldn't put the rice cakes down! WAHHHHHH I MISS THEM SOO MUCH!!! <'O

Thanks for the gift....it was super cute!<3

[MsTasyaIsm]

its quite same with Malaysian traditional kuih called 'buah melaka'... buah melaka is green in color, uses palm sugar for the filling and grated coconut for the coating. when we eat it, the palm sugar kinda explode in our mouth. its delicious!

[ladythreecats]

@MsTasyaIsm I made the "buah melaka" with the same dough... we call it "klepon". But making "buah melaka" is more difficult, because the palm sugar easy gets out of the dough (if you haven't make the dough closed well) when you boil it.

[Chelselen]

i love how everything they made includes rice

[rainieyangrocks]

Is there any substitutions for coating the rice cakes?

[StageDreamer2590]

@rainieyangrocks I've seen cake/cookie crumbs and matcha been used.

[simpleplens]

Can I used fruits instead of red beans filling? Like mango or apple? Any suggestion?

[Maangchi]

@simpleplens dried fruits will work well.

[simpleplens]

@Maangchi So does the dried fruits needed to put the cinnamon powder, brown sugar and etc?

[TheNajihah96]

Cold water means water with ice or just normal water?

can i take water from refrigerator ?

[StageDreamer2590]

@TheNajihah96 The cold water will 1. stop the cooking and 2. keep them from sticking to eachother while you cook the rest.

[starcatcher72]

i ate this at a buffet last weekend, and i was crazy hooked the moment i bit into the dough. it was delicious, so i saw that u had it and i was like " ohmygod!!! mom!!!! can we????" and she said no cuse she is forcing me to diet. any alternatives with healthy stuff??? no, offence, not saying its not healthy but my mom isnt budging....im desperate!!!!

[alwaysdjl]

YUMMM

[sofia13ification]

@MaangChi

I was wondering if I could replace the green powder with finely ground dried coconut if I can't find any sagebrush powder. I'll use this on Thursday for a special event at school.

thank you.. :)

[missensu]

YOU are just awesome!!! that is so creative and sweet :)))

[NevershoutZaina]

What did you coat the rice balls in at the end?

[Kid13Death]

watching your videos make me so hungry, but I can't stop! >w<

[numrock1210]

Can i use normal rice powder(flour) instead of sweet rice powder(flour)? Thanks alot. :]

[animeluverx31]

Your the best!!!

[frechieguy]

I'm gonna make this for my neighboor. She is Korean, and once and a while she brings up these wonderful dishes. I think I'm gonna make this to show my gratitude. :)

[daniyellowjello]

I love soybean powder!

[HandsomeHybrid]

I tried making "gyung dan" from a book called Korean Cooking by Young Jin Song. Except in his book it was spelled "Kyungdan". Well, it didn't turn out as delicious looking as your recipe. I will try again by using your recipe! Would you recommend some Korean cook books for me to buy? Meanwhile, I will continue to come back to your channel. 사합니다...

Peacefully Stay, Maangchi!

-Jeffry from Dallas, TX

[Vincentsmom27]

maangchi, yours is my favorite channel. other than the soybean filling because I can't find it in my town. could I use the yellow mung bean filling for your songpyeon?

[Maangchi]

@Vincentsmom27 yellow mung bean filling sounds great!

[ioly84]

yes, thank you ! sesame seeds it is a wonderfully delicious idea i will do that!....but what amount??

[ioly84]

looks sooo tasty and beautiful, and the way u packed them in the box is soo sweet, i will try this..don't know if i will manage it.is it possible to replace the red beans paste with something else?

[Maangchi]

@ioly84 how about using mixture of grounded roasted sesame seeds and sugar for the filling?

[FunkyyPunkyy]

Awww Thank Youuu :D..

They Loook Yummmy :D

[staceychoong]

hi, I am Stacey very happy to found your page, I have few questions, how long can it be kept? this Korean rice cakes are eat during it is hot or cold? after we made it, how do we store?

thank you.

[Maangchi]

@staceychoong You will have to eat it in a day, Otherwise rice cake gets hard. If you want to save them for future use, keep it in the freezer. When you eat it, take it out from the fridge and thaw it out at room temperature or reheat in the microwave oven. Check out the forum on my website. Leave your questions there if you want to share your cooking experience with my other readers.

[staceychoong]

@Maangchi, thanks for the reply, but something unclear... i need to store the left over in freezer or chiller?

okay, I will leave my experience here, after i collect all the ingredients ^^ thanks a lot.

[norxcontacts]

Was the green one matcha?

[xtobimayax]

Could you make our own rice flower? by just grinding in into a flour or do you have to buy it

[Maangchi]

@xtobimayax yes, you can. Soak short grain rice overnight and drain it. Then grind it finely.

[xtobimayax]

@Maangchi What is the difference with long grain and short grain rice? does it have to be short grained rice?

[Maplygloby]

@littlemissclay it tastes really different.

[12timonsito]

I hope korean food becomes more popular the only thing thats near me is Kyochon Chicken.

[dj02tc5]

i have been looking 4 this all over the place

[FarewelI]

@MaangChi Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

[FarewelI]

For some reason mines were too dry, which resulted to difficully wrapping up the filling and that lead to too much rice cake and barely red bean paste. Also it was more salty than sweet, while I obviously added way more sugar to it. Haha, as a beginner I've stumbled across so many beginners faults -- But thanks for the recipe, will try to make it another time, it was fun making it though!

[Maangchi]

@FarewelI I'm sorry to hear about your rice cake turned out dry. When you knead the dough, add a little more water than the recipe then. Don't give up and keep practicing to make the best gyeongdan. You know what you have to fix or modify at least. Happy holidays! : )

[silentfades]

your family is blessed to have you prepare such wonderful foods - thank you for sharing all of this with us

[juliekim88]

Can you freeze the rice cake (the step before boiling it)? and if we can can you also talk about how to thaw rice cake properly? Thanks! :)

[Lee2436]

great video

[zqdz123]

in china we have something the same.also with redbeans in it.

i think  korean and japanese make them more beutiful .

[sgtodeath]

@sageofphildin Of course they're not "Strictly" Korean. I'm Japanese we make these types of things all the time. We just have different names for them and such. I think these types of foods originated from China however I'm not too sure.

[ashikaru132]

I LOVE Gyung dan! When I got to the store, it's always gone, but now I can make my own! Thank you!!!

[UnhappyRc]

is there a way i can make the dough but make it sweet by useing plain flour?

[UnhappyRc]

@UnhappyRc i think i already made a solution to my question

[UnhappyRc]

if my grandma makes pupusas again im, gonna try to make this

[AdamTheFenderBender]

amazing!!! i want to make some RIGHT NOW =o

[shineejjang4ever]

how much time will it make to do it ?i mean in all ~

[WhiteAndBlueCrown]

wow she speaks english so well :) no joke

[sageofphildin]

Are these strictly Korea? I think the Chinese have the same exact type of "rice cakes" too.

[ohmspy]

hi..i would like to know how many day it can keep??

[HanakoFujita]

You make this look easy! XD

[BloodyGaaraOfSand]

oh i know how to make those....but my mom makes it a different way.

[BloodyGaaraOfSand]

i dont hav a food processor, can i use a blender or will it be too think and tough to blend?

[VenusAsABoyFilms]

this is so complicated but i bet it tastes good :-)

[originalkikisound]

thank you for your gift!

[Maangchi]

@originalkikisound lol

[desacron]

thank u for the present

[danieltaojo]

Hi! Can I used plain rice flour? or glutenous rice powder?

[Maangchi]

@danieltaojo yeah, use glutinous rice flour. It's sweet rice flour.

[danieltaojo]

@Maangchi ahhh thank you very much :D

[Krymigia]

So awesome. This video made me very hungry.

[vu3chicka]

you should go for food network. your would sooo win!!!

[eve97days]

can i used that dough that you made for dukbokki(hot and spicy rice cake)?

(using only the dough, no mugwort powder, brown sugar and others.)

[spinafire]

She talks exactly like my mom. Just not as loud haha

[fidendu2]

just ♥ ur foods

[maeloveme]

hi i would like to ask.. in this set of ingredients how many rice balls will it make?

[Maangchi]

@maeloveme please check the recipe on my website. More detailed info, ingredient photos, and tips are posted there.

[richkhris]

aw ur family is so lucky to have a mom that cooks so well! im jealous. hehe

[winnzhang]

can i subsitute the sweet rice powder for sugar added in rice flour?

[cyreelluvzanime]

i want to eat korean foods!!! rice cakes, sangyupsal, kimchi, bibimbap!!!! theyre waiting for me!!

[lamegurl26]

How long can this be kept?

[inkspray]

When we took ours out of the water were you supposed to dry them off before you roll them in the coating? Ours remained very wet after.

[Maangchi]

Put the cooked rice balls into cold water and drain them. Check the recipe on my website.

[sujudbsklover]

where can you find sweet rice powder if you live in the Ontairo Regions?

[Maangchi]

@sujudbsklover Check Korean grocery store section on my website.

[sujudbsklover]

@Maangchi thank you i really wanted to try to make either dukbokki or the rainbow cake you have done

[kufufunocosplay]

Can you find these ingrediants at any Asian supermarket?

[jaejoong54]

can i use white sugar instead on brown sugar

[Maangchi]

@jaejoong54 of course u can.

[jaejoong54]

@Maangchi o for the rainbow rice cake can i use sweet rice flour?

[scarywolfie]

@jaejoong54

im sorry you can't.

they're 2 different type of rice cakes. this one uses the glutinous rice which gives it the stickyness. the rainbow one just uses regular rice. the textures are pretty different.

also if you get sick of the regular (sticky) ricecakes easily, which i think some ppl do you dont really get that feeling with the normal rice ricecakes.

that's why i like em. i dont know to make them though, sadly.

[Maangchi]

Thank you very much for all your nice messages!

[yuukiluvasians]

hi i enjoy watching how u make different korean food and im thinking of learning from u...=]

[micke683631]

you are amazing. i hope you get greatly rewarded for your delicious talent. (arigato gozaimasu) itadakimasu

[decosava]

@micke683631

Oh you use Japanese...She is not Japanese but Korean.

mmm...I'm Japanese and gyung dan is quite different from Japanese sweets such as dango or botamochi. It seems so delicious and it's interesting to me^^ I like tteoppokki and kimchi too. Kimchi is also popular in Japan!

감사함니다. 한극여리를 좋아했어요.

[Maangchi]

@decosava I love mochi and dango, too! yum!

[gongliiloveyou]

This was so sweet, thansk for uploading! Im a 18 year old boy from sweden and i will go directly to the supermarket to by all the ingrediens. 감사

[MSnoobiest]

can you open a restaurant in Pennsylvania please :D

[reysikyle]

can i use corn starch instead of flour and fine rice flour instead of sweet rice flour?

[1988yilinjin]

@reysikyle

yes but Mix them together

[CherryCanarie]

My mom's birthday is coming up and would this type of tteok be okay to make for her or is there another type of tteok you traditionally make for birthdays? I dont want it to be the wrong kind of tteok to give her, like making songpyeon for her birthday which would be weird. I don't have a steamer so I thought these small ones would be cute.

[Maangchi]

@CherryCanarie songpyeon is made on Chuseok festival day but gyeondan will be good birthday gift.

[iNahoumTV]

Awweh that was so cute , looks good

[Suzuki3202]

i want 2 fly 2 korea but im 2 youngT^T

[ElementalAtHeart]

I love mochi, but these look excellent as well! Can I get all these ingredients at an Mmart or Emart?

[xOsaloOmOx]

oh my god . . i love you ! they look sooo sweeet !! i live in the UAE , you wouldn't happen to know where i could find the ingredients would you ? would i find them in a Japanese grocerystor ? and what is the difference between sweet rice and normal rice ? i've been graving those since forever =$ aaah , thank you so much

[moeofbucks]

@xOsaloOmOx If you found any japanese/korean food outlet please inform me. Im moving to dubai soon and dragon mall does not seem to include other asian ingredients

[enterfailedment]

Hey just a tip, if you roll up some wet paper towels into a ring and place them under the bowl while you mix the dough it will prevent the bowl sliding around

[STDPr0ductions]

>< I can't get my present out of the screen, they look so goooood~ thank you for the walk-through :3

[EOSchan]

hehe ^_^ that was so cute. I need to make those now.

[dccmnmn]

It looks very tasty.

Dividing into one mouthful size is your thoughtfulness for the person who eats.

-

とても おいしそうです。

食べやすい一口サイズに分けているのも、食べる人への心遣いです­ね。

[joanneyoon]

Thank you so much for uploading this video!!! I live in a rural area because of my husband's Air Force duties, and there's very little Asian markets / food here. One of the things I wanted most was 떡, now I can make it at home!

[Maangchi]

@joanneyoon awesome! Let me know how your gyeongdan turns out.

[peanutsnpeppers]

awe that was cute >.< i ve tried the some kind of pastry with the sweet bean i it but i wasnt really fond of it..... i guess i prefer my beans salty ;) lol great vid !!

[maea46]

Hi Maangchi!! I'm from New Zealand and i really enjoy watching your recipe show....well done

[Maangchi]

@maea46 Welcome! : )
