Songpyeon

Songpyeon (Korean: 송편) is a small Korean rice cake (tteok) shaped like a half-moon. It contains a range of fillings including red bean paste, toasted sesame seeds, and chestnuts and is traditionally eaten during the Korean autumn harvest festival, Chuseok, when it is often prepared by families at home. It is a popular symbol of traditional Korean culture. The earliest records of songpyeon date from the Goryeo period.
