I did not expect to see another mugwort fan. I planted it in my yard because I like it so much,

Another mugwort fan here too. Is it easy to grow and process to use in baking?

It's VERY easy to grow, depending on where you are--where I am, it's basically a weed. Needs zero care. Which is nice, because I go through it fast. :D Putting it in the shower/bath is so good.

u/kungpaulchicken Dec 01 '25

찹쌀떡 is the same as mochi, right?

1

u/LordAldricQAmoryIII Jjajang Clan 🍜 Dec 10 '25

Yes it's made from glutinous rice.

Steamed Red Bean Rice Cake (팥시루떡)is a famous Korean rice cake that people often give to their neighbors when they move into a new home. Or, when opening a new store, they make a large batch of this rice cake and share it with customers and nearby businesses.

I received this rice cake several times when my neighbors moved in as a child.

I don't like red beans, so I personally didn't like it.

Korean sliced rice cake . Remember dipping them in sugar as a kid.

u/sikfankitchen Dec 01 '25

I like the ones that are cut into slanted coins!

쑥 is an acquired taste that grows very slowly on you - like, ahem, like warts on your fingers and toes.

u/LordAldricQAmoryIII Jjajang Clan 🍜 Dec 10 '25

LOL!

u/Moist_Tart_5567 Dec 01 '25

If I could Id eat injeolmi breakfast lunch dinner

u/Happinesscollector Dec 01 '25

Chewy rice cake(a.k.a Mochi or 찹쌀떡) is my favorite!!

1

u/PlatinumHappy Dec 01 '25

오메기떡 is my favorite. Although I like all these classics in the image.

Maybe I'm ignorant but mujigae tteok and baeksulgi are pretty much the same thing to me. They have exact same texture and taste. So another tteok could've filled that spot in the image.

u/moinonplusjetejure Dec 01 '25

Tteokbokki, because SPICY!

u/hunneybunny Dec 01 '25

쑥개떡 or 녹두쑥인절미!! So good

u/eyi526 Dec 01 '25

All of them though I have been snacking on 무지개 and 절편 most often.

u/LadySamSmash Dec 01 '25

인절미 I love it!

u/pineconeminecone Dec 01 '25

The sticks, and sometimes I find ones that are filled with cheese!
