Injeolmi bingsu

인절미빙수

What exactly is it?

Roasted soybean powder and chewy injeolmi top shaved ice. The focus is the toasted soybean flavor rather than red beans. Condensed milk and nuts may add sweetness and crunch beyond the ingredients named on the menu.

Main ingredients

Shaved water or milk ice, injeolmi and roasted soybean powder; optional condensed milk or nuts

Ordering and serving

Moisten the powder with a little ice or condensed milk before lifting a spoonful. Chilled rice cakes can firm up, so chew small pieces.

Origins and changes

This combines a traditional rice cake with modern shaved ice. The soybean powder normally coating injeolmi spreads across the ice, carrying the rice cake’s flavor through the whole dessert.
