In a clip that’s quickly going viral, the newly released video spotlights the shocking secret behind jet-black chapssaltteok (glutinous rice cake) made entirely without starch.
Uploaded on March 23 via the SBSSTORY channel, the video is drawing major attention from viewers.
The footage features a segment from the culture program 'Master of Living'. One striking scene shows a special red bean filling used to craft chapssaltteok wrapped with a black stripe.
In particular, the repeated line "The secret is not using starch" amped up viewers’ curiosity. Thanks to this red bean paste, the chapssaltteok boasts an extra‑chewy texture and a cleaner, healthier flavor.
The video is fueling excitement among those seeking healthier traditional Korean snacks. Because the technique hasn’t been widely shared before, it’s becoming a hot topic — and the step‑by‑step, traditional process of making chapssaltteok is portrayed in a compelling way.
'Master of Living' continues to spotlight Korea’s traditional food culture with fresh approaches. In this broadcast, the starch‑free chapssaltteok process that emphasizes health particularly stood out.
