    Fluffy steamed buns filled with sweet red beans – Jjinppang (찐빵)

    Hot and fluffy steamy jjinppang are irresistible! Soft on the outside with sweet red bean paste in the middle, they are great for a dessert or snack, or even a light meal when you’re in a hurry. Make sure the filling is a little chunky and not too smooth!

  2. Steamed pork buns (Jjinppang-mandu)

    “We used to make a large quantity at once, enough to eat for the whole winter. We kept hundreds of steamed pork buns in earthenware pots in the yard. The weather was so cold that the buns were frozen the whole winter, until we finished them. They were hard as stones the whole time. We ate them every other day, not as a snack, but as a meal. We used to bring some frozen buns to the kitchen, thaw them out, steam them, and eat them.”
