Wheat flour is kneaded with ginger juice and water, then rolled into a flat sheet.[5] The sheet is then cut into small rectangles with three slits in the middle, and the end of each piece is put through the middle slit.[5] The ribbons are then deep-fried, coated in honey or jocheong followed by chopped pine nuts.[5]
