== 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 (). Another dark-green jeolpyeon, made with deltoid synurus, is called surichwi-jeolpyeon () and is traditionally served during the Dano festival. Pink-colored jeolpyeon, called songgi-jeolpyeon (), is made by pounding tteok with pine endodermis.
