This is a type of traditional sweets made by steaming sweet rice powder, rolling it out and drying, then deep-frying the dough, glazing it with malt syrup, and rolling in puffed rice powder. It is a folk dish of Gangneung, Gangwon State, and is also called “Maehwa Sanja.” Originally, “Sanja” was called “Jogwa,” which means “artificial fruit.” This dish is also known in Korean as “Gwajul (Gwajeul)” and is said to exemplify the filial piety of the people of Gangneung, for it was created as an “artificial fruit” to be used in memorial service tables during the winter when one could not find any fruit. These squares break with a satisfying crunch and have a sweetness that slowly builds as one chews.
