That’s why we’ve got you covered! Here are the TOP 3 Korean snacks that are perfect for this weather. Let’s dive in!

HOPPANG

What screams winter in Korea? Hoppang. This steamy, soft bun—also called Jjinppang—is filled with sweet red bean paste that melts away the cold in the most comforting way. It’s like a warm hug in every bite! Just steam it or heat it up in the microwave, and you’re in for a treat. 

While red bean filling is the classic choice, Hoppang has evolved thanks to its massive popularity. Now, you can find flavors like vegetable, scrambled egg, and more, making it super fun to pick and try different ones. New flavors are popping up all the time, so if you’re curious, look it up and explore the world of Hoppang. Don’t miss out.

SWEET KOREAN PANCAKE (HOTTEOK) MIX

Hotteok, a popular Korean street snack, is a must-try treat, especially during the cold winter months. While it’s popular year-round, winter brings out its true charm, making it a top choice for warming up on chilly days. 

Known as Korea’s national snack, Hotteok is famous across the country, but Busan’s version takes the spotlight with its nut-filled interior for a crunchier, heartier bite. Although Hotteok is traditionally tricky to make at home, it’s now much easier thanks to the introduction of sweet rice Hotteok mixes.

For an extra delicious twist, mix honey or chopped nuts into the included filling before frying. It’s like hosting your own mini baking class. Gather your friends and have fun making (and eating) these sweet treats together. On a cold winter night, just one bite of warm, gooey Hotteok is enough to make your evening. Game over—Hotteok wins.

YANGGAENG

Yanggaeng is a traditional Korean sweet made from red beans. The process involves boiling red beans, straining them to make a smooth paste, and mixing in various ingredients before letting the mixture set. Known for its soft and sweet flavor, Yanggaeng has been a beloved national snack in Korea for generations. 

While it was traditionally more popular among older adults, interest in Yanggaeng has recently surged among younger people, thanks to the hit song ‘BAM YANG GANG’ by singer BIBI. Now, it’s a favorite treat enjoyed by people of all ages. 

✋ BIBI's song title is written as BAM YANG GANG in English, but it refers exactly to this sweet snack.

Thanks to its growing popularity, Yanggaeng now comes in a variety of flavors like chestnut, corn, and more, with new creations constantly being released. Its subtle sweetness and soft texture make Yanggaeng the perfect treat to enjoy with tea or coffee. Try it - you'll love it.

So, how about the Korean snacks we introduced today? Don’t you just want to try them all right now? Wishing you cozy and sweet moments with these heartwarming Korean treats this winter. K-Dessert power! Stay tuned for more delicious stories next time.
