Songpyeon (송편) is a type of rice cake which is a must-have for Chuseok (Mid-Autumn Festival). These small half-moon shaped rice cakes are stuffed with sweet sesame seed fillings 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.
Songpyeon dough is usually colored with natural food coloring. Check the full recipes below and links for color options.
