What is the name of the Korean sweet made from puffed rice, malt syrup, and sugar?

Yeot-gangjeong is a Korean sweet made from puffed rice, malt syrup, and sugar.

Gangjeong is a traditional Korean confection in the hangwa family. It is prepared by combining grains, seeds, beans, or nuts with a sticky syrup, then shaping the mixture into small pieces. Rice-based versions are especially associated with celebrations and traditional gift foods.

The syrup commonly includes yeot, a Korean grain-based sweetener, along with sugar or honey. Once the mixture binds together, it can be pressed, cut, or formed into bite-sized shapes. Sesame seeds, peanuts, or other ingredients may also be added.

Gangjeong differs from tteok, which is generally a rice cake made by steaming or pounding rice. It is also different from yakgwa, a fried honey cookie with a characteristic floral shape.
