Yaksik or yakbap (literally "medicinal food" or "medicinal rice") is a variety of tteok or Korean rice cake made by steaming glutinous rice, and mixing with chestnuts, jujubes, and pine nuts. It is seasoned with honey or brown sugar, sesame oil soy sauce, and sometimes cinnamon. It has been traditionally eaten on Jeongwol Daeboreum (정월대보름), a Korean traditional holiday which falls on every 15th of January in the lunar calendar.
