Drugs that are becoming hot again these days

It tastes like chewy and sweet medicine. Yomilgwa, also known as yakgwa, is made by kneading wheat flour with honey and sesame oil, putting it on a plate and frying it or frying it in oil. It is soaked in grain syrup or honey and eaten when it hardens. The sweet and savory taste is excellent. Yakgwa is a snack with a long history, having been used as a sacrifice in Buddhism during the Unified Silla Period. Yakgwa in the shape of an elaborate flower stamped on a mold for making yakgwa is called royal yakgwa, and yakgwa made in a bite-sized square is called Gaeseongmoyakgwa. Chewy and sweet yakgwa is really delicious when eaten with ice cream. This is a snack that has been popular in the past. Honey is used to give it a sweet taste, so it is better for health than sugar. It's very easy to find, so you should try it too~~!

Roots and stems-Jeonggwa

Jeonggwa is a snack made by simmering the roots or stems in honey or grain syrup for a long time. If you boil it for a long time, it will not be tough and will become chewy. Citron, quince, hawthorn, apricot, etc. are good for fruits that are high in fiber or have hard skin. . It is also made with gourd or pumpkin and dried ogari. Fruits that are low in fiber or high in water are not good. Even strong and hard vegetables can be softened well and the smell will disappear if you blanch them in boiling water once. It is good when it is boiled slowly for a long time with honey and the color is dark and transparent. The lotus root jeonggwa is light red, and the bellflower jeonggwa is yellow. It looks very neat when you put well-made jeonggwa that is transparent like glass on a clean plate. When cooking gourd or ogari, add Schisandra chinensis together to make it red, and add a little blue food coloring to make it blue. Boiled Park Ogari, cut it into a leaf-shaped frame, and serve it with flower-shaped lotus roots or carrots. It goes well with it.

'Dasik' that melts in your mouth sweetly

Finely powder grains such as rice, chestnuts, and beans, knead them with honey or grain syrup, insert them into a dasik board, and remove them to make beautiful dasik with letters, geometric patterns, and flower patterns engraved on the top. Dasik was an indispensable item for ancestral rites, weddings, and large table setting during the Joseon Dynasty!. Dasik was often used as a household medicine, but black sesame dasik was eaten for food poisoning, and acorn dasik was eaten for cough. Sanyak Dasik was called Hyoja Dasik because it was good to give it to elderly parents to help the weak. Dasik, which melts sweetly when you put it in your mouth and roll it gently, enhances the taste of tea, so it is often served on a tea table or used as a dessert.

Sooksilgwa uses fruits or berries. Fruits and berries are boiled or steamed and boiled in honey. Suksilgwa is divided into Cho and Ran. Cho is a whole fruit or berry that has been cooked and preserved in its original form and then boiled in sugar. Ran is a fruit or berry that is boiled, mashed, and boiled in honey. And it is made by forming the shape of the original fruit or fruit shape. Since before, it took a lot of work and good fruits to be made, so in the family of the deceased, they used to show off their skills by serving it to guests or at banquets. I usually make two or three and put them together. In most of the old food books, four kinds of soksil (chestnut), jujubecho, yulran, and joran are the most common.

Traditional Korean sweets are usually sweetened with honey and natural ingredients such as fruits, nuts, and roots, so they are good for health. In the past, it was made with precious ingredients such as honey and glutinous rice, and the process of making it took a lot of time, so only nobles and nobles could eat it. In Korea, it is sold a lot in traditional markets, and Chinese characters are used a lot in traditional teahouses, important days, and ancestral rites. Can Chinese characters be seen as Korean culture?

What kind of Chinese characters have you tried? how did it taste? I couldn't eat all of them during Chinese characters ㅠㅠ. It's delicious, I eat a bit of sweets, but it tastes healthy haha. It's perfect to eat with tea!.
