Jjinppang (찐빵; lit. "steamed bread") is a steamed bun, typically filled with red bean paste with bits of broken beans and bean husk.[2][3] Traditional jjinppang is made of sourdough fermented using the yeast in makgeolli (rice wine), but younger varieties such as hoppang are often made without fermentation.[1] Warm jjinppang is softer than baked breads due to the higher moisture content, but it hardens as it cools.[4] Thus it is recommended to eat while the bun is still hot. Hardened jjinppang can be steamed again before eaten.[4]
Jjinppang is a specialty product of Anheung Township in Hoengseong County, Gangwon Province.[5] In the township, there is Anheung Jjinppang Village where 17 steameries that make Anheung-jjinppang (안흥찐빵).[6] Since 1999, the township also hosts Anheung Jjinppang Festival in every October.[7]
