Frequently asked questions

  • What is yugwa?

    Yugwa is a traditional Korean snack made from glutinous rice dough that is fried until it puffs and then coated with syrup and a crunchy coating such as grains or seeds. It is a type of hangwa, or Korean traditional confectionery.

  • What is the difference between yugwa and yakgwa?

    Yugwa is a puffed, crisp glutinous rice confection, while yakgwa is a dense, chewy wheat flour cookie flavored with honey and ginger. Both are Korean hangwa sweets, but they have very different textures.

  • How should I store yugwa?

    Store Yugwa in an airtight container at room temperature, away from humidity and heat, since moisture makes it lose crispness. Follow the best-by date on the package.

  • Is yugwa gluten free?

    Yugwa is traditionally made with glutinous rice, which is not wheat, but ingredients and processing vary by brand. Check the ingredient and allergen statement on the package of the exact Yugwa you buy.

  • What does yugwa taste like?

    Yugwa tastes lightly sweet and nutty with a very crisp, airy bite that melts quickly in the mouth. The flavor depends on the coating, such as bean or mugwort.

  • When is yugwa eaten in Korea?

    Yugwa is traditionally served during holidays such as Seollal (Lunar New Year) and Chuseok, at weddings and at ancestral rites. It is also given as a gift and enjoyed with tea.
