Jelly-like starch based food
Muk is a
Korean food made from grains, beans, or nut
starch such as
buckwheat,
sesame, and
acorns and has a jelly-like consistency. Muk has little flavor on its own, so muk dishes are seasoned with
soy sauce,
sesame oil, chopped
scallions, crumbled
gim, and
chili pepper powder, and mixed with various vegetables.
