Coffee Seolgi

I’m back to seolgi (설기), steamed cake made with rice flour, sugar and water at its simplest form.  This time, together with instant coffee in milk and finely chopped walnuts, a new seolgi is born as an afternoon pick-me-up coffee cake that goes great with, what else, a cup of coffee.

In itself is a guilt-free, mildly sweet dessert.  If you are willing to allow yourself a little more ‘guilt,’ drizzle some coffee caramel sauce over it.  Or top your coffee seolgi with simple whipped cream.  Or, just maybe, you can try both.  Coffee seolgi topped with whipped cream and drizzled with coffee caramel sauce is – h e a v e n l y ~

You can see more pointers on seolgi from my recent orange seolgi post.
