patjuk
Patjuk () is a type of Korean juk consisting of red beans and rice. It is commonly eaten during the winter season in Korea, and it is associated with dongji (winter solstice), as people used to believe that the red color of patjuk drives off baneful spirits.
kong-guksu
Kong-guksu () or noodles in cold soybean soup is a seasonal Korean noodle dish served in a cold soy milk broth. It comprises noodles made with wheat flour and soup made from ground soybeans. It is unknown when Korean people started eating kongguksu; however, in accordance with the mention of the dish along with kkaeguksu () in Siui jeonseo, a Joseon-era cookbook published around the late 19th century, it is presumed to have originated at least as early as the 19th century. It is served with salt or sugar depending on the region.
Kongbap
Kongbap () is a Korean dish of white or brown rice cooked together with one or more varieties of soybeans. Kongbap may be made from scratch by combining and cooking together dried rice and soybeans—usually black soybeans. Outside Korea, the word "kongbap" is commercially used in premixed multi-grain packages in dried form. In Korea, multigrain rice consisting of grains other than soybeans is called japgok-bap (mixed cereal rice).

nokdu-muk
Nokdu-muk () is a Korean muk, or jelly, made from mung bean starch. In its most commonly encountered form, it is also called cheongpo-muk (), which literally means "clear froth jelly," owing to its clear white color. If it is colored with gardenia, the nokdu-muk is called hwangpo-muk, which literally means "yellow froth jelly."
kkulppang
Kkulppang (), also known as honey bread, is a South Korean dish. It is a sticky, sweet bread filled with sweetened red bean paste. Softer, fluffier ones that are made in Tongyeong, South Gyeongsang Province in South Korea, are called Tongyeong-kkulppang, being a local specialty. In an adjacent city called Jinju, crunchier Jinju-kkulppang is sold as a local specialty. Shortly after the Korean War, many bakeries in Tongyeong were sold. Fishermen and shipbuilding workers who worked on the beach simply ate a meal or snack because they could be kept for a long time despite the warm climate of Tongy
jjinppang
Jjinppang () is a steamed bun, typically filled with red bean paste with bits of broken beans and bean husk. Traditional jjinppang is made of sourdough fermented using the yeast in makgeolli (rice wine), but younger varieties such as hoppang are often made without fermentation. Warm jjinppang is softer than baked breads due to the higher moisture content, but it hardens as it cools. Thus it is recommended to eat while the bun is still hot. Hardened jjinppang can be steamed again before being eaten.
