Hahngwa

	Hahngwa ''Hangwa'' () is a general term for traditional Korean confections. With ''tteok'' (rice cakes), ''hangwa'' forms the sweet food category in Korean cuisine. Common ingredients of ''hangwa'' include grain flour, fruits and roots, sweet ingredients such as honey and ''yeot'', and spices such as cinnamon and ginger. Names ''Hangwa'' () translates to "Korean confectionery" referring to traditional confections contrasting with ''yanggwa'' (), which identifies "Western confectionery". In the past ''hangwa'' was called ''jogwa'' () which means "artificial fruit" or ''gwajeongnyu'' () as meaning "fruit food category". History The history of ''hangwa'' goes back to the era of the three kingdoms (57 BCE ‒ 668 CE), when various types of confections were consumed by royals during festivities, national holidays or in court, according to the ''Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms''.

	Yeot ''Yeot'' is a variety of ''hangwa'', or Korean traditional confectionery. It can be made in either liquid or solid form, as a syrup, taffy, or candy. ''Yeot'' is made from steamed rice, glutinous rice, glutinous sorghum, corn, sweet potatoes, or mixed grains. It is presumed to have been used before the Goryeo period. The steamed ingredients are lightly fermented and boiled in a large pot called a ''sot'' (솥) for a long time. ''Yeot'' boiled for a shorter time is called ''jocheong'' (조청), liquid ''yeot''. This sticky syrup-like ''jocheong'' is usually used as a condiment for cooking and for coating other ''hangwa'', or as a dipping sauce for '' garae tteok'', white cylindrical ''tteok''. If boiled for a longer time, the ''yeot'' will solidify when chilled, and is called ''gaeng yeot'' (갱엿). ''Gaeng yeot'' is originally brownish but if stretched (as taffy is prepared), the color lightens. Pan-fried beans, nuts, sesame, sunflower seeds, walnuts, or pumpkin can be added ...
