Hwangpomuk is a Korean food which is a yellow jelly made from mung beans. The yellow color comes from gardenia seasoning. This jelly is particularly associated with Jeolla cuisine, and is a noted staple food of Namwon and also Jeonju, where it is a common ingredient of Jeonju-style bibimbap.[1]

As with other Korean jellies, hwangpomuk is commonly served in small chunks seasoned with vinegar, soy sauce, and other condiments; this side dish is called hwangpomuk-muchim.
