꽈배기

What exactly is it?

Twisted strands of dough are fried into a doughnut. Yeast dough gives a bread-like interior, while sugar coats the outside. Versions containing sticky-rice flour may be chewier than a standard wheat doughnut.

Main ingredients

Wheat flour, yeast, sugar and frying oil; optional milk, butter or sticky-rice flour

Ordering and serving

Freshly fried twists are hot, while cooled ones can feel oilier. Ask before bagging if you do not want a sugar coating.

Origins and changes

This fried bread is shaped by twisting risen dough before a final proof and frying. Sugar or cinnamon sugar turns the browned surface into a sweet snack.

Glutinous-rice doughnut

찹쌀도넛

Main ingredients: Sticky-rice flour, sweet red-bean filling, sugar and oil; some recipes mix in wheat flour
Flavor and character: Sticky-rice dough is fried into a chewy round snack, commonly filled with sweet red beans. Other fillings or unfilled versions also exist. Its bite is closer to a rice cake than the airy crumb of a standard doughnut.
