Maejap-gwa (Hangul: 매잡과; Hanja: 梅雜菓), also called maejak-gwa (Hangul: 매작과; Hanja: 梅雀菓) or tarae-gwa (Hangul: 타래과), is a ribbon-shaped hangwa (traditional Korean confection).

Preparation

Wheat flour is kneaded with ginger juice and water, then rolled into a flat sheet. The sheet is then cut into small rectangles with three slits in the middle, and the end of each piece is put through the middle slit. The ribbons are then deep-fried, coated in honey or jocheong followed by chopped pine nuts.
