Suksil-gwa (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".; Hanja: Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler), literally "cooked fruit", is a category of hangwa (Korean confection) consisting of cooked fruit, roots, or seeds sweetened with honey.[1][2] Common ingredients include chestnut, jujube, and ginger.[3] Suksil-gwa is similar to—and sometimes classified as—jeonggwa, but has unique characteristics that differentiate it from the jeonggwa category.[2]
It has been mainly used for special occasions such as janchi (banquet), or jesa (ancestral rite).[3] During the Joseon era (1392–1897), it was consumed by yangban (scholar-officials) and in royal court cuisine, due to the requirement for good quality fruit and an elaborate cooking process.[4] Suksil-gwa is usually served with two or three kinds in one dish.[3][4]
Varieties
Script error: No such module "Sidebar". Suksil-gwa can be divided into ran-type and cho-type by the cooking method. Each of the terms is affixed to the main ingredient.[2] The ran-type involves meshing of the cooked ingredient, mixing them with honey, and shaping the mixture into the shape of the fruit. The cho-type are made without the meshing process.[2]
- Yullan (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) – made by mashing and sieving boiled and peeled chestnuts, mixing the sieved chestnut with cinnamon powder and honey into a dough, then shaping the dough into chestnut-shaped confection and garnishing it with pine nut powder.[3][5]
- Joran (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) – made by mashing and sieving boiled and deseeded jujube, mixing the sieved jujube with cinnamon powder and honey into a dough, then shaping the dough into jujube-shaped confection and optionally garnishing it with pine nut powder.[3] Sometimes, joran can be filled with the mixture of chestnut powder and honey.[6]
- Saengnan (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) – also referred to as gangnan (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) or saenggang-ran (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler), made by boiling peeled and finely minced ginger in a lot of water to reduce the heat, sieving it, simmering it in honey, cooling it, and shaping it into ginger-shaped confection and garnishing it with pine nut powder.[3][7]
- Bamcho (Script error: No such module "Lang".) – also referred to as yulcho (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler), made by simmering peeled chestnuts in water, with honey of the same weight as chestnuts added.[3] When the honey penetrates the chestnuts, cinnamon powder is added and the confection is drained and coated with pine nut powder.[3] Both dried and fresh chestnuts can be used to make bamcho.[8]
- Daechu-cho (Script error: No such module "Lang".) – made by deseeding jujube, steaming it for a short time and stuffing it with around two pine nuts, simmering the stuffed jujube with honey and cinnamon powder, and coating it with pine nut powder.[3] When served, daechu-cho is garnished with a toasted pine nut on the stalk end of the jujube.[9]
