Preparation

Use pine nuts as they are, split peanuts in two, stir-fry sesame seeds, and perilla seeds, beans, and fry rice paste. Mix the ingredients prepared by melting sugar into honey and pour bean powder or oil on a large wooden or metal plate, spread it quickly when it is hot, and cut the wheat into the right thickness with the next knife.

Pine nut, sesame, walnut, and peanut yeot-gangjeong are made of diamond-shaped or corrugated patterns, and rice paste yeot-gangjeong are recommended to be rounded to the size of a tennis ball.[4]
