DISCOVER KOREA students expanded their CULTURAL COMPETENCE by learning how to make songpyeon, a small half-moon shaped rice cake which is filled with sweet fillings such as sweetened sesame seeds and traditionally steamed on a bed of pine needles. The name songpyeon stems from the use of pine needles, because “song” in “songpyeon” means pine tree. 

The fruits of the students’ labor were sweet and chewy, delicious rice cakes.
