I am craving for this rice cake, I like sweet rice cake too because my family loves to do rice cake but this one is different from others. I will surely do this for snacks and it’s a good business too.

This happened to me too when I rolled a few of the rice balls in a mixture of matcha powder and sugar. It kind of melted. I think perhaps it was the heat from the rice balls, even though I soaked them in cold water for a bit.

Maangchi , gyung dan was a success !! And i love the soy bean flour ! It reminds me of my childhood :D

And my husband who doesn’t like red bean paste fillings , ended up liking these ! He said it’s delicious . It is super easy to make , and i had fun rolling them . I didn’t have black sesame seed , plus my grinder isn’t here with me , so i just picked to use just the mugwort powder and soy bean powder .

Thanks for the recipe !!

Click each photo of gyeongdan on this page submitted by my other readers. You will be able to see what they used to coat their rice cake balls. For example, check out this photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/38693848@N02/6294724878/in/pool-1176774@N22/
It says, “.. Coated with ground black sesame seeds, colored dessicated coconut, green tea powder, and ground hazelnut”
