Description
Gyeongdan, a traditional Korean dessert, consists of soft, chewy rice cakes coated in a variety of sweet and flavorful toppings. These delightful treats are often served during special occasions or as a comforting snack. The combination of the tender glutinous rice and the rich flavors of sesame, bean powder, or coconut makes Gyeongdan an irresistible bite-sized dessert.
Gyeongdan is best served fresh, showcasing its tender texture and sweet, nutty flavors.

Directions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, salt, and water.
- Knead until smooth and pliable.

- Boil water in a pot.
- Add the dough balls and cook until they float, about 2–3 minutes.
- Remove and drain.
- Roll the cooked rice cakes in your chosen coating (soybean powder, sesame seeds, or coconut) mixed with sugar.
