History
editHoppang is a product that makes it easy for the family to eat steamed bread, which was formerly sold at snack bars. It was created when food founder Chang-sung Heo visited Japan in 1969. Heo created Hoppang as a product that was sold on Japanese streets and sold in the winter, the low-peak season in the bakery industry, and then released it in 1971.[2]
Etymology
editHoppang was a brand name for the ready-to-eat jjinppang developed by Samlip in 1970, which combined the onomatopoeia ho, ho (the sound for blowing on hot steamed bun) and ppang, the Korean word for bread. Also it has meaning of 'The whole family eats together and smiles; Ho ho'.[3] The brand name soon became the generic name for convenience jjinppang.
Varieties
editTypical hoppang is filled with sweetened red bean paste,[4] but it is also commonly sold stuffed with vegetables and meat, pizza toppings, pumpkin, or buldak.[1][5]
Steamer- or microwave-ready hoppang is often packaged in multiples at supermarkets and grocery stores, while many convenience stores sell hoppang throughout the winter months in cylindrical heating cabinets designed to steam and keep them warm.[6][7]
