CocoHodo - KTX GwangMyeong (Photo grabbed from cocohodo.co.kr)
Whenever
my husband and I travel down south to visit my in-laws, we always drop by at
some rest stop midpoint of our journey to grab a small bag of our favorite snack -- delicious walnut pastry cakes 호두과자 (hodu gwaja), and a
cup of steamy, hot coffee.
Walnut
cakes or hodu gwaja originated from Cheonan, South Korea. They are popular Korean
street snack during the harsh winters. These tasty pastry cakes are made by
pouring flour dough mix into a hot iron mold, and filling it with the
sweet red bean mix pat and
walnuts.
The
name hodu gwaja comes
from the combination of the word ‘hodu’ (호두), meaning walnut, and 'gwaja’ (과자),
used to refer to any snack such as cakes or cookies.
These
pastry cakes are found typically across Korea from street-side snack
carts or the ubiquitous stalls at subway, train, and highway rest stops; hence hodu gwaja are always associated with taking long distance trips around the country. Normally, they are sold by snack-sized bags or boxes for just 3,000~5,000원.
