Jeolpyeon () is a type of tteok (rice cake) made of non-glutinous rice flour. Unlike when making siru-tteok or 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 (). 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.
