Korean New Year cake

Introduction:

"Nian Gao has an important position in South Korea. The Korean New Year cake (glutinous rice cake) is made with wooden patterns similar to those of China (the wooden patterns of the rice cake are very small, and the rice cake cakes made are only the size of walnuts, and the wooden patterns are made of pottery and wood). It is said that rice cake also contains the meaning of sincerity, love and filial piety. When moving, there is also the custom of making rice cakes and distributing them to the neighbors. Among the murals unearthed in South Korea, there was a scene of cake making in the Silla period (676-935 A.D.), and the rice cake culture reached its peak in the Korean period (1392-1910 A.D.). Huanian cake is a kind of cake powder spread on the sticky cake and put in the mouth to make people feel like the cake will melt gently. It is also one of the good gifts for relatives and friends. "
