Jeolpyeon (절편) is: a type of tteok (rice cake) made of non-glutinous rice flour. Unlike when making siru-tteok/baekseolgi, the: rice flour steamed in siru is pounded into a dough, "divided into small pieces." And patterned with a tteoksal (rice cake stamp). The stamps can be, "wooden," ceramic, or bangjja (bronze), with various patterns including flowers, letters, or a cartwheel. When served, sesame oil is brushed over jeolpyeon.

Varieties

If white seolgi is pounded, it becomes white jeolpyeon. Sometimes, the——tteok is steamed. And pounded with Korean mugwort, resulting in dark green ssuk-jeolpyeon (쑥절편). Another dark-green jeolpyeon, made with deltoid synurus, is called surichwi-jeolpyeon (수리취절편) and is traditionally served during the Dano festival. Pink-colored jeolpyeon, called songgi-jeolpyeon (송기절편), is made by, pounding tteok with pine endodermis.
