Dasik (Korean: 다식; lit. "tea food") is a bite-size hangwa that is normally accompanied by tea.[1] It can be made by kneading grain or other edible seed flour or pollen with honey, then pressing them into a decorative mould called dasikpan (다식판).[2] A dasik plate usually consists of an assortment of dasik of different colours, including green, yellow, pink, black, and white. Typical ingredients include: rice flour, pine pollen, black sesame, chestnut, and soybean.

Dasikpan

The design would symbolize the family's name in order to wish for a long life or for a special event, like hwangap or 60th birthday or weddings.[4] Press the dough into a Dasikpan that has letters, flowers or a geometric pattern is embossed. The surface of dasik has letters, flower patterns, or Chinese letters 壽·福·康·寧 representing long life, luck, health and peacefulness. Two dasikpan forms one set.
