Preparation

Non-glutinous rice flour is steamed in siru (steamer) and pounded in jeolgu (mortar) to form a dough.[1] It is then cut into small pieces, rolled out flat and round, and filled with geopipat-so (white adzuki bean paste) and sealed.[1] The filling can be made by husking adzuki beans (often the black variety), steaming and seasoning it with salt, and sieving it.[1] Sesame oil is brushed on each tteok to prevent it from sticking.[2]

Varieties

Korean mugwort can be pounded together with steamed rice flour to make a green-colored dough.[3] In Gangwon Province, steamed rice flour is pounded with deltoid synurus, also resulting in a green dough.[4] To make a pink dough, the endodermis of Korean red pine is used.[3]

Variants containing sweet mung bean paste instead of white adzuki bean paste are very common, particularly among the Korean communities in Los Angeles, California.

gollark: Yep.
gollark: I assume it interpreted "no items in filter slot" as "just allow anything in".
gollark: It started accepting undamaged stuff.
gollark: I'll just filter it to "these random items I put in" or something.
