How to Make Jjinppang (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Jjinppang (찐빵) is a beloved Korean steamed bun snack known for its fluffy, pillowy texture and subtly sweet, earthy red bean filling. Originating from Korea’s rich street food culture, Jjinppang is especially popular during the colder months, often enjoyed with a cup of hot tea or as part of a cozy afternoon snack. The simple yet satisfying combination of soft, steamed dough and smooth, sweetened red bean paste (pat, 팥) makes Jjinppang a comforting treat for all ages. In Korea, Jjinppang is sometimes served alongside a variety of banchan (Korean side dishes), and it pairs beautifully with slightly tangy, fermented foods like kimchi, balancing the sweetness of the buns with a hint of umami. This traditional snack is not only delicious but also connects you to the warmth of Korean homes and markets, where steamed buns are often made fresh and enjoyed communally. Its gentle flavors make it perfect for those new to Korean cuisine, offering a taste of authentic comfort food.
재료(2 steamed buns (approximately 100g each) 기준)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (밀가루)
- 1/3 cup Warm water (약 40°C)
- 1 tsp Active dry yeast (이스트)
- 2 tbsp Sugar (설탕)
- 1/4 tsp Salt (소금)
- 1 tsp Vegetable oil (식용유)

- 1/2 tsp Baking powder (베이킹파우더)
- 1 tsp Rice syrup (optional) (쌀엿, for extra shine on buns) - 선택 사항
조리 방법
- 1
In a bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
5 minutes
Make sure the water is warm (not hot) to activate the yeast properly.
- 2
Add flour, salt, baking powder, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Mix and knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
8 minutes
Knead thoroughly to develop gluten for a fluffier bun.
- 3
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 30 minutes).
Rest 30 minutes
A slightly warm oven (turned off) works well for proofing.
- 4
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a disc and place about 2 tbsp of sweetened red bean paste in the center. Gather the edges and seal to form a bun.
5 minutes
Seal buns tightly to prevent filling from leaking during steaming.
