The name chapssalgyeongdan (, "glutinous rice ball cake") may also be used, but chapssal can be, and usually is, omitted.

Gyeongdan can be made by kneading glutinous rice flour into chestnut-sized balls, then boiling them in water, and coating them with honey, mashed red beans or mung beans, or toasted and ground sesame seeds, etc.
