Hi Maangchi, I LOVE your website! This is my first time leaving a comment, but I’ve made several of your recipes, and they always turn out amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to post these videos on recipes, it’s very much appreciated :)
I have two questions:
1. I have a container of red bean paste in the fridge. Can I use this? Or should I make my own?
2. Is there anything else I can roll them in to get different colours? I’m making these for christmas gifts, so I’d like them to be colourful. I’ve eaten some before that were pink and yellow, what could I use for those colours?
Thank you! :)

That’s “kayakumsanjo-gutkuri” (가야금 산조 굿거리)played by Shim sang gun (심상건).
hey wow i made this it ws so good and your this videos background music is so good can u tell whioch music is this
Joy,
I meant you can keep it in the freezer right after making it if you don’t eat it right away. When I filmed the gyungdan video, it was evening. I made the package for my friend’s daughter to give her next day. If you consume it all after making it, of course you won’t need to put it in the freezer. You can thaw it out at room temperature before eating it.
Actually white kimchi sometimes goes with injeolmi (sweet rice cake). I’m going to post the white kimchi recipe (non-spicy kimchi and it’s called baek kimchi)later. Thank you!
Maanchi,
You said these rice cakes may be frozen – is that before rolling in powder or after (I assume before??)?
Thanks! PS I’m an American, I love rice cakes AND kimchi (not together!)
THANK U FOR SHARING ME YOUR DAKKANGJUNG,
TONIGHT I WILL MAKE YOUR GYUNGDAN AS ONE OF MY GIFT
AND I’LL BUY HIM A CAKE SO THAT HE CAN BLOW HIS CANDLE
AND FOR LAST AFTER 5 TIRED WORKING DAYS OF MY HUSBAND..
I WILL SERVED HIM DAKKANGJUNG WITH WINE SO THAT WE CAN CHAT A LOT WHILE DRINKING….
THANK U UNNI!!!
myla – does your husband like chicken? Try my dakkangjung recipe, many people love it.
I’m not sure how much it will cost, I usually buy a big bag of red beans and use them over time. But anyways I don’t think this will be expensive. Most important is your effort, and this gyungdan will be very precious for him because you work so hard.
hi again,,,
actually im planning to make this tommorrow morning
I will wake up early and find your ingredients in Korean town, I just wanna know How much will it cost?
will it cost me a lot? Bco’z Im also planning for another gift to give ~~
Hi Maangchi,,,
Thanks for these recipe, actually yesterday was my husbands birthday but his busy in his work and i also forgot to greet him…
Maybe making your Gyungdan will make him happy,
Thanks a lot,,,
and please please please can u suggest another recipe
for his special occasion???
Just if your not busy Thanks a lot agin!!!
rona,
Wonderful! You must be busy Korean cooking all the time these days. Ok, I will keep your request in mind. More snack! Hobakjuk I posted last night will be good snack,too. Thanks!
hi i use to make snack for my husband everyday for work to bring and all of that are from your website i use to cook almost everything I see on your video and it all turn so delicious it makes me feel proud that i can cook different korean food. and thanks to you^^ could you make some other recipe for snack.. you know^^ i want to make different dishes for my husband coz my husband works from monday to friday so it is 5 days of thinking what will i prepare what will i prepare.. hmn,, thank you in advance
Mary,
No, this rice cake is served by itself. You could serve it as dessert or just snack.
What is this usually served with?
Im planning on making them soon!
I wanted to try something Korean and at the same time vegetarian! This recipe is awesome!
But is it served with rice? Or by itself?
Shiyonnie mom and Christine choi,
Thanks a lot. I’m your fan, too! : )
Jenny,
yes, green tea powder will be too bitter. But I’m sure it was so pretty color. I am planning to post more rice cake recipes later. Thank you very much.
Please wait until I post the recipe.
I tried making today… was pretty successful… but tried green tea powder instead… was too bitter as too much was stuck to the gyungdan… thinking of peanut powder the next round…=)
I was also searching for the recipe of steamed white rice cake with red bean (whole), shaped like a normal westerned cake… do you have the recipe to share?? I’m really crazy about rice cake now!! =)
