Soboro-ppang (Hangul: 소보로빵) is a delicious sweet bun that is very popular in Korea. It is sometimes called Gombo-ppang (Hangul: 곰보빵). People often call it "soboro bread" or "Korean streusel bread."
This tasty bun has a special, crunchy topping that looks a bit like streusel. Streusel is a crumbly mix often used on pastries. The word "soboro" comes from Japanese. In Japan, "soboro" means fried and minced (very finely chopped) meat or fish. The topping on the bread looks similar to these small, crumbly pieces.
