A unique holiday dessert with a subtle coffee aroma in a chewy dough, filled with a nutty and sweet sesame filling.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to try a new style of songpyeon instead of the usual holiday version.
  • Coffee lovers who also enjoy the chewy texture of rice cakes.

Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings

  • 200g rice flour
  • 3 teaspoons coffee powder
  • warm water as needed
  • 1/2 cup roasted sesame seeds
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Recipe 🍳

  1. Sift together the rice flour and coffee powder through a fine-mesh strainer to achieve a fine, even texture.
  2. Gradually add hot water to the flour mixture, kneading until a smooth, brown-hued dough forms.
  3. Lightly crush the roasted sesame seeds in a mortar, then mix with an equal amount of sugar to create the filling.
  4. Pinch off chestnut-sized pieces of dough, shape into rounds, make an indentation in the center, and generously fill with the sesame mixture.
  5. Pinch the dough closed around the filling, then shape into half-moons or cute little balls.
  6. Place the songpyeon in a steamer set over boiling water and steam evenly for about 15–20 minutes.
  7. Rinse the steamed songpyeon briefly in cold water, drain well, and coat lightly with sesame oil to finish.
  1. Mix rice flour with coffee powder and make a hot-water dough.
  2. Combine crushed sesame seeds and sugar, fill the dough, and shape.
  3. Steam for 15 minutes, rinse in cold water, and coat with sesame oil.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using decaffeinated coffee powder allows children and those sensitive to caffeine to enjoy it without worry.
  • When making hot-water dough, do not add all the water at once; add it little by little while checking the dough's consistency to avoid ruining it.
