3. Yeot
Yeot is a Korean traditional candy in liquid or solid, a variety of hahngwa. Yeot is made from steamed normal rice, glutinous rice, glutinous kaoliang, corn, sweet potatoes or mixed grains. The steamed ingredients are lightly fermented and boiled in a big pot (sot) for a long time.
If they are boiled for less time, the food becomes a jocheong (Á¶Ã»), liguid yeot. This sticky syrup-like jocheong is usually used as a condiment for cooking and for coating other hahngwa, or as a dipping sauce assorted with garae tteok, white cylindrical tteok.
If boiled for more time, the yeot turns into a hard and solid shape after chilled. It is called gaeng yeot . Gaeng yeot is originally brownish but if stretched out in several times, the color of it gets whiten. In the process of chilling gaeng yeot, pan-fried beans, nuts, sesame, sunflower seeds, walnuts, or pumpkin can be added into or covered over the yeot. The names of yeot follow the main and additional ingredients.
