Korean Traditional Eat - Red Bean Duk (Mochi) Balls

Koreans are known for their mochi balls that are stuffed with red bean, a popular Korean Traditional Eat. The mochi is made from rice cake, dduk, which is a go to snack for Koreans. I love the mini size mochi balls that you can just pop into your mouth. This set contained red bean paste filling mochi that is covered with regular black sesame, red bean, regular sesame, green tea, and a yellow bean powder. For just $2, it is definitely a party in your mouth!

There are also other mochi (dduk) texture goodies that can be found on the street for two dollars. You can even purchase the plain dduk that comes in a small roll. The best part of it is the chewy texture, although it is plain it taste it is a yum yum that is healthy for you! The most popular dduk is the plain white kind and green tea dduk is second in line. It is made with a strong green tea flavor so I only suggest that to those who love the green tea taste, which is most Asians. Unfortunately for me, the taste is a little too strong for me because I am not big on tea, but I know many who love it.

They all come in with different powdery exteriors and tastes. Some, like that on the right, is made with a darker mochi interior, and topped with a bean powder on the outside, but it is made of the same chewy dduk texture. For just maximum two dollars a pack, you can explore all you want for the best choice that fits your taste buds. Each individual store tends to get creative with their dduk and powders so it is always great to try new ones.
