- 3 hours approx. to make
- Serves 6-8
Being of Korean descent, I remember growing up with my mom's and grandmother's cooking. I am recreating them and trying to put measurements to them as traditional Korean foods never see this side of measuring cups or measuring spoons.

Ingredients
- 3-4 cups of sweet rice shopping list
- 1 cup of dark brown sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup of soy sauce shopping list
- 1/4 cup of sesame oil shopping list
- Dash of salt shopping list
- 1/2 cup of golden raisins shopping list
- 1/2 cup of pine nuts shopping list
- 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon shopping list
- 1 cup of coarsely chopped chestnuts (cooked) shopping list
How to make it
- In a large bowl, soak the sweet rice in water for 1 and 1/2 hours (90 mins) See Photo. Wash then place in a large steamer. I purchased a steamer that has a mesh screen bottom. With the water boiling, keep the rice in the steamer for 30 minutes.
- In a large glass or metal bowl, mix together the freshly steamed rice and the remaining ingredients. Transfer mixture back into the mesh steamer and steam for an additional 30 minutes.
- Prepare glass pan with sesame oil (I just pour a teaspoon and spread with my fingers). Then pour the steamed mixture into and using the flat side of a spoon to press into the glass pan. Allow to cool and cut into squares and enjoy!
- (I have seen many recipes that call for either honey or white sugar, but this is by far my favorite!)
