- Shaped like a briquette, making it a fun and unique snack!
Injeolmi (인절미) is a traditional Korean rice cake made from steamed and pounded glutinous rice, coated with roasted soybean powder for a soft, chewy texture and nutty, mildly sweet flavor. It is enjoyed as a snack, dessert, or topping in various dishes like Injeolmi Bingsu (shaved ice) and Injeolmi toast, making it a beloved treat in Korean cuisine. 😊
📌 Briquette Bread’s Emotional Touch
A bread that looks like a fully burned briquette.
"To live is to willingly become a briquette for someone else."
...
When you love with all your heart,
You fear being left behind as a pile of ashes.
Yet, I have never been a briquette for anyone.
The poetic lines from "A Briquette" by poet Ahn Do-hyun come to mind when looking at this bread.
✔️ TIP:
- The Injeolmi powder coating enhances the nutty flavor, making it a great match for coffee.
- Not too sweet, perfect for those who prefer a balanced taste.
