How to Celebrate Chuseok in South Korea


Chuseok is a public holiday in South Korea, traditionally Koreans visit their hometown to celebrate with their families, eat traditional food and make offerings to ancestors.


The signature foods prepared for Chuseok are such as songpyeon (송편), Jeon (전) and Hangwa (한과). Songpyeon is one of the essential dishes for Chuseok. These half-moon shaped rice cakes filled with sweet fillings such as sesame seeds, honey, chestnut paste and red bean paste. Jeon, often translated as "pancake’’,  is a nice snack when spending time with family during Chuseok. Made with ingredients such as meat or fish, mushrooms and other vegetables which are soaked in egg, flour and fried. Hangwa are traditional Korean sweets that are usually made from powdered grains such as rice, mung beans and more.They are decorated with various colours and textured with patterns and taste delicious. The most popular Hangwa for Chuseok are Yakgwa.
