Dasik (Korean pronunciation: [taɕik], literally “tea food”) is a variety of hangwa or Korean confectionery, mainly eaten with Korean tea.

It is made from nongmal (which is starch made from potatoes, sweet potatoes or soaked mung beans), pine pollen (songhwa), Ostericum grosseserratum (singamchae), black sesame, honey, flour from rice or other grains, nuts and/or herbs.[1][2][3]

Dasik is kneaded and pressed with dasikpan (다식판), decorative stamps for making patterns on dasik.[4] Depending on their ingredients, dasik comes in white, yellow, black, green, brown or reddish.
