Chapssaltteok is Korea’s tender, chewy version of mochi, made from glutinous rice dough filled with sweet red bean paste and often dusted lightly with starch to prevent sticking. Each bite is soft and yielding, with a subtle sweetness that makes it both a snack and a ceremonial treat. Sold in markets, snack shops, and festivals, chapssaltteok carries the warmth of everyday Korean life and the joy of sweets meant to be shared.
