Songpyun (Kind of dduk or tok) 

Koreans eat songpyun as dessert during holidays.  
You can prepare them a day ahead, and store them in  your refrigerator. 

Ingredients:

3 cups of rice flour, water,  washed pine needles, sesame seed oil, 1 and 1/2 cups of roasted sesame seeds, 8 Tbs of sugar, salt, wet cloth (thicker than cheese cloth)

Directions:

1. Add water into rice flour to make not-too-hard dough, and cover the dough with wet cloth.

2. Mix roasted sesame seeds, sugar and little salt.  This is filling.  

3. Make a little ball (1 inch) with rice dough, and use your thumb to make a hole.  Put sesame seed filling (amount is up to you) into the hole and shove the rice dough to completely cover the filling.  Make round shape or diamond shape.  You made songpyun.

4. Boil water in a pot, and put a steamer over it.  On steamer place wet cloth first, then put songpyuns and put pine needles over it.  Finally, cover the steamer with another wet cloth and steam songpyuns for 30 – 40 minuets.     

5. When songpyuns become a bit transparent, you can turn off the stove and  wash songpyuns with cold water.  Brush them with sesame seed oil.
