    I'm Korean living in Australia. I never thought too much of this cookie when I was growing up because there were so many "more exciting modern snacks" in the supermarkets. I thoughts Yackgwa was "olden day stuff". But since I got married to an Aussie husband, we buy this often from Korean grocery stores, because my Aussie husband loves this. & Now my kids love it. I think it's better than other snacks that has so much food additives (colouring & flaver enhancers ...).
    I tried making it at home once because it's very expensive to buy in my area($6-7 Au/320g), but I failed so bad I said I'll never make it again. I thought, What a waste of so much of expensive ingredients, (rice flour, oil & syrup). But the way Mangchi made it seems so easy, I think I'll try making it again. My family's gonna love it.

    Oh man, I love those cookies. They're addicting as well as very pretty. Whenever my parents go to the Korean supermarket which is sometimes, they will pick up a container. You're spot on when it came to it being juicy, as well as it having a slight crunch when biting into it. Right, it leaves your fingers slightly oily. Also, they're quite dence and heavy which I love. Keep up the content. 🇨🇦

    반죽에 넣는 술은 약과를 튀길 때 더 잘 부풀게 해줍니다. 그리고 잘 부풀어서 조청에 담글 때 더 잘 스며들도록 해줍니다. 굳이 소주가 아니라 맑고 맛과 향이 강하지 않은 술 종류면 왠만하면 가능합니다.

    I’ve searched Korean blogs and found out they say you can use Makgeolli or Cheongju or just wine instead of Soju. But I never tried with these, and they also used Soju, so I’m not sure that work well.
    I can be wrong, but the reason you should use alcoholic drink is when you fry the dough, the alcohol evaporates and makes dough rise. For the best results, I recommend following Maangchi’s recipe. Let’s get Soju and make Yakgwa at home. 😊

    I saw these in one of the airbnbs i was staying at, and was wondering what they were! They look so delicious, should have tried them out when i was in Korea. Thanks for sharing as always!
