    What is Chuseok

    Chuseok (추석) is one of the two most celebrated traditional holidays together with the lunar New Year Day (Seollal, 설날). Also referred to as Hangawi (한가위), it falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month – the same day many Asian countries celebrate a Mid-Autumn Festival.

    Families gather and celebrate the year’s harvest, giving thanks to their ancestors. Women of the house work hard for days leading up to this day to prepare a sumptuous holiday feast. See my 15 Chuseok recipes. In Korea, Chuseok is celebrated over 3 days.

    What is songpyeon

    Songpyeon (송편) is a must-have Chuseok delicacy. These small half-moon shaped rice cakes (tteok, 떡) are stuffed with sweet fillings such as sweetened sesame seeds and traditionally steamed on a bed of pine needles. The name songpyeon stems from the use of pine needles, because “song” in “songpyeon” means pine tree.

    DSC 0592 e1537046766544 - Songpyeon (Half-moon Shaped Rice Cake)

    These little rice cakes are near and dear to my heart, bringing back so many fond memories of this special holiday. A couple of days in advance, we would go to the nearby woods to pick pine needles. Making songpyeon was so much fun!

    I remember the excitement I had sitting in front of several colorful huge heaps of dough – as if I was like a child sitting in front of big piles of play dough. But, shaping and stuffing these little guys was also a serious business. There was always a little unannounced competition among us – whose songpyeon looked the best.

    My mother used to say I would have a pretty daughter because my songpyeon was pretty. She was right! I developed this recipe, so you can start making these at home, creating a new family tradition and build special memories.

    DSC5735 e1568085002326 - Songpyeon (Half-moon Shaped Rice Cake)

    Rice flour for Songpyeon dough

    Songpyeon is made with short grain rice flour (쌀가루), NOT glutinous rice (sweet rice) flour (찹쌀가루). Traditionally, Korean home cooks soak short grain rice overnight, drain, and then take to a gristmill to get it ground into fine powder.

    While that’s clearly not an option around here, there are bags of frozen wet rice powder for making rice cake (tteok, 떡) sold in the freezer section of Korean grocery stores. 

    You can try making rice flour at home by soaking short grain rice over night, drain for hours, and then use a powerful blender, coffee grinder, or food processor to finely ground. The rice flour/batter may still come out a bit grainy, not as soft.

    How to prepare dry rice for songpyeon:

    Many of you told me you don’t have access to wet rice flour, so I’ve experimented with dry rice flour to make songpyeon dough. It’s not the same as wet flour. The resulting rice cakes tend to be a little hard and not nicely soft and chewy. To soften the texture a little, I tried adding some glutinous/sweet rice flour. The result was much better!

    Combine 1 cup of dry short grain rice flour (called 쌀가루 or 멥쌀가루), 1/3 cup of glutinous/sweet rice flour (찹쌀가루), and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and mix well. Add 4 tablespoons of cold water, and rub the rice flour between your palms to evenly distribute the moisture. Run it through a medium sieve to sift. Cover with a plastic wrap, and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours up to overnight. This yields about 2 cups of wet rice flour. Follow the recipe below to make songpyeon.

    Blank 1080 x 800 - Songpyeon (Half-moon Shaped Rice Cake)

    Making songpyeon dough

    I use boiling hot water to make the dough, and then knead until the dough is nice and soft. The longer you knead, the chewier the texture of the rice cake will be.

    Natural food coloring

    Songpyeon dough is typically flavored and colored with natural ingredients such as mugwort, kabocha, and dried fruit powders. This recipe shows how to use mugwort powder and fresh kabocha, I also played around with different natural food coloring and came up with a couple of other colors. You can choose any number of options I’ve given here, or use your own food coloring options. Also see my Beet songpyeon recipe for vibrant red color.

    Songpyeon filling

    The most common filling is made with sweetened sesame seeds. Black soybeans and mung beans are also traditional. This recipe shows how to make it with sesame seeds.

    How to shape songpyeon

    1. Tear off a small piece of the dough enough to make roughly 1 to 1.5-inch ball. Roll tightly between your palms to shape a ball.
    2. Make a well in the ball by pressing into it with your thumb, and press outwards, with both of your thumbs, on the inside walls of the well to slightly expand the opening.
    3. Place 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of the filling in the well.
    4. Seal tightly by squeezing the edges together.
    5. Squeeze the whole rice cake lightly in your palm to firm it up.
    6. Gently roll between your palms to smooth out the surface.
    7. Shape it into a nice crescent shape by pinching the long ends with your thumb and index finger.
    8. Pinch along the side to create a wing.

    Equipment

    • Steamer

    Ingredients

    Rice Powder (ssalgaru)

    • 2 cups wet rice powder per batch (about 16 songpyeon) 쌀가루 or 쌀떡가루 - a 2 pound-bag yields a little more than 6 cups (3 batches) - see note
    • 4 to 5 ounces pine needles rinsed 2 – 3 times and air or pat dry (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

    Natural color option (pick any for each batch):

    Basic (white dough)

    • 2 cups wet rice powder thawed to room temperature if frozen
    • 4 tablespoons boiling hot water more as needed, in 1 teaspoon increments

    Green dough

    • 2 cups frozen rice powder thawed to room temperature if frozen
    • 1.5 to 2 tablespoons mugwort (ssuk garu, 쑥가루) or matcha/green tea powder
    • 5 to 6 tablespoons boiling hot water more as needed, in teaspoon increments

    Yellow dough

    • 2 cups frozen rice powder thawed to room temperature if frozen
    • ⅓ cup cooked steaming hot kabocha, (danhobak, 단호박) 1/4 small kabocha steamed in microwave for about 5 minutes
    • 1 tablespoon plus 1 or 2 teaspoons boiling hot water

    Purple dough

    • 2 cups frozen rice powder thawed to room temperature if frozen
    • 4 tablespoons plus 1 or 2 teaspoons boiling hot blueberry juice 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries finely pureed with 1/2 cup water, strained and boiled

    Pink dough

    • 2 cups frozen rice powder thawed to room temperature if frozen
    • 4 tablespoons raspberry juice 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries finely pureed with 1/2 cup water, strained, and boiled

    Filling: fills about 16 (one batch)

    • ⅓ cup roasted sesame seeds
    • 1.5 tablespoons sugar
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • pinch salt

    Instructions

    Dough:

    • For each type of dough, sift the rice powder into a bowl. Prepare the flavoring and liquid ingredients (water/juice/mugwort powder/kabocha) for each selected color of dough. Add the specified amount of the solid and/or liquid (making sure it’s boiling hot) to the rice powder, quickly stirring them in with a spoon. (Tip: Hold a teaspoon or two of the liquid and make sure more liquid is needed before adding it.)
      DSC5658 640x427 - Songpyeon (Half-moon Shaped Rice Cake)
    • Knead, pressing and stretching with the heel of the hand. Fold and rotate the dough. Repeat the kneading process for 4 to 5 minutes. (If the dough sticks to your hands or the bowl after some kneading, it’s too wet. Add more rice powder in 1 tablespoon increments. If the dough breaks easily or is too stiff, it’s too dry. Add more boiling hot water in 1 teaspoon increments.)
      DSC5659 640x427 - Songpyeon (Half-moon Shaped Rice Cake)
    • Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
      DSC5667 640x427 - Songpyeon (Half-moon Shaped Rice Cake)

    Filling:

    • Roughly grind the sesame seeds in a grinder or blender. Add the sugar, honey and pinch of salt. Mix everything well together until the sugar and honey are evenly distributed.

Squeeze the whole rice cake lightly in your palm to firm it up, and then gently roll between your palms to smooth out the surface. Shape it into a nice crescent shape. Pinch along to create a wing. Repeat until all the dough/filling is used.
      DSC5768 3 640x427 - Songpyeon (Half-moon Shaped Rice Cake)

    Steam and finish:

    • Boil water in a steamer. Place a thin layer of pine needles or a silicon liner or damp kitchen cloth in the steamer insert. Boil the water over high heat. When it starts to steam, place the rice cakes in the steamer insert without the pieces touching one another. Cover with a thin layer of pine needles, if available. Cover and steam for about 20 minutes.
      DSC5808 640x427 - Songpyeon (Half-moon Shaped Rice Cake)
    • Prepare a big bowl of cold water. Using a long-handed spoon or tong, remove the rice cakes from the steamer. Drop them in the cold water for a quick rinse, removing all the pine needles if used. Transfer the rice cakes to a colander to drain. Lightly coat your hands with the sesame oil and rub the oil on the rice cakes in batches. Serve warm or at room temperature

    Notes

    Wet rice powder/flour is usually sold in the frozen section of Korean markets. Dry processed rice flour is not suitable for making songpyeon. 
    The amount of water/liquid required will vary depending on the condition of rice flour. Hold a teaspoon or two of the liquid and make sure more liquid is needed before adding it.

    How to prepare dry rice for Korean rice cake

      Is the dough supposed to be dense and chewy? If not I don’t know what I did wrong. I used the frozen rice powder and followed your directions.

      What do you do with the pine needles? Are they ground into the dough or just used in the steam?
      My family have become fascinated by Korean culture as we are fans of BTS and wanted to try this treat as Jin mentioned it in his Chuseok message to fans.
      Your site makes this look and sound really easy to make- thank you!!!

      Hi Hyosun, I made these for festive
      potluck celebration (unfortunately not the traditional date) as I fell in love with your beautiful presentation. They were an absolute hit and everyone was raving about them, even someone from South Korea. I only wish I made more! I ground my own wet short grain rice flour as I couldn’t find any in my town – this is quite laborious when using a small grinder. I found they needed steaming about twice as long – probably due to my flour or thickness of my cakes. A wonderful recipe, thank you.

        Oh sorry glutinous rice flour is another name for sweet rice flour, and this rice cake is made short grain rice flour not sweet rice flour. You can try making rice flour at home with short grain rice by soaking it over night, drain for hours, and then use a powerful blender, coffee grinder, or food processor to finely ground. The flour/batter may still come out a bit grainy, not as soft, but you can certainly fix your craving.

      Hi —

      These look amazing! I have a couple questions for you:
      – Is it possible to shape the songpyeon ahead of time, refrigerate (or freeze?) and then steam it on the day I plan to eat it?
      – If so, how many days in advance can I do this?

      Thanks!

        Hi Kim! Yes, it can be shaped ahead of time. If you’re going to steam them in a day or two, you can refrigerate. Anything beyond that, freeze them the same way you would with dumplings (see my mandu recipe for the tip for freezing). I still have some in my freezer that made 3 weeks ago. Hope this helps!

        Sorry I didn’t respond sooner. I was busy with the family over the holidays. You can first freeze on a tray/dish without pieces touching, and then keep them in a freezer bag. This way, they won’t stick together. Songpyeon can keep well for a few months in the freezer.

Next time how should they be stored to make them last longer?

        Thank you, Rosa! Rices cakes are best to be eaten within a day. If they are hard next day, you can steam or microwave them. They will get soft again. Keep them in the fridge if you’re going to eat in a few days. Otherwise, freeze them. You can steam or microwave to reheat. Cover with a soaked wet paper towel or napkin if using a microwave. It will prevent the rice cakes from drying out. Hope this helps.

      These are really beautiful sweet treats, Hyosun. Even if I tried very hard I would never obtain such neat, equally shaped rice cakes. Not to mention their consistency which I’m sure is perfect. Happy Chuseok!
