koreancookery1-9, Challenge 2: Three sweets

Model answer:

Hotteok: a filled pancake and popular street food in South Korea, made from a yeast dough of wheat flour, water, milk and sugar that rises for several hours, filled with brown sugar and sometimes honey, nuts and cinnamon, and pressed flat on a griddle (Wikipedia, Hotteok).

Sikhye: "a drink made by fermenting rice with malt to give it a sweet taste", served as a dessert; malt water is steeped on cooked rice at about 62 degrees C (Wikipedia, Sikhye).

Yakgwa: a deep-fried wheat-flour confection of the hangwa family, made with honey, rice wine, sesame oil and ginger juice (Wikipedia, Yakgwa).

Left out: sikhye's belief that it aids digestion or helps hangovers; the cheongju and honey-medicine explanation of yakgwa's name; the claim that yakgwa is popular at Seollal and Chuseok (tagged "citation needed"); hotteok's uncited anecdote; and the calorie figure.
