Gangjeong (Korean: 강정) is a hangwa (한과, traditional Korean confection) made with glutinous rice flour. It is a deep-fried "rice puff" with hollow inside, coated with honey followed by nutty beans, nuts, seeds, pollen, or spice powders.[1][2] Gangjeong is often served during important events such as weddings, ancestral rites, and Korean New Year celebrations.[3] Yugwa was widely distributed after the Goryeo dynasty due to the influence of Buddhism, and was called "Goryeo dessert" in the Yuan dynasty of China.
