Etymology

edit

The Korean compound chapssal-doneot (찹쌀도넛) literally means "glutinous rice doughnut", as chapssal (찹쌀) refers to "glutinous rice" and doneot (도넛) is a loanword from the English word "doughnut".

Description

edit

Glutinous rice flour dough creates the crunchy outside texture and chewy inside texture.[1] Beside food stalls in traditional markets, the doughnuts are also sold through franchise bakeries such as Dunkin' Donuts Korea and Paris Baguette.[3][4]
