Typical Korean Snack: Bbopki (Korean Sugar Cookies)

Bbopki (Korean Sugar Cookies)



Bbopki is a thin round round crispi candy. Korean sugar is made from sugar solution mixed with baking soda so it is very crunchy and fragile. At the time of cooking, just before it is cold and hardened, the middle part is stamped with the shape of heart, star, or other funny form. The shape in the middle of this is not just decoration, but there is a purpose.

For those who do not know may eat bbopki just like that. But Koreans usually eat it while made toys or 'race': who can leave the middle bbopki shape intact, without broken or chipped. Given the very fragile bbopki texture, this is not an easy item. Eat it should be little by little and very carefully, so as not broken and the edges run out, leaving only the shape of the bbopki in the middle. I also seem to have seen in Korean dramas about eating bbopki like this, and if it works it's fun not playing. And this is probably the biggest attraction of bbopki is its tradition.
