Hoppang () is a warm snack that is sold throughout South Korea. It is a convenience food version of jjinppang (steamed bread) and is typically filled with smooth, sweetened red bean paste.
== History == The hoppang was invented by Heo Chang-seong, founder of Samlip Foods. In 1969, during a visit to Japan, he saw steamed buns known as chūkaman, a Japanese variant of the Chinese baozi, being sold on the street and was inspired. He had been searching for a product to boost sales during the bakery industry's slow winter season. After experimenting with recipes, the hoppang was introduced to the Korean market in 1971.
