PrintSugar Rush: Sweet Rice Twist from Koryodang
For a spin on the typical doughnut twist, head to Koryodang Bakery in K-Town. The flavor and texture of a classic yeasted takes a turn with this aptly named "Sweet Rice Twist" in which mochi flour gets used in both the dough and in the mix sprinkled over the fried pastry. Couple that with high-gluten All Trumps flour and the end result is a subtly sweet, chewy doughnut that never comes close to embodying the word "fluffy" but bears a slightly nutty charm all its own. It's the one doughnut you can have for breakfast without suffering a sugar high.

Ahhh shit, I heard someone mention this doughnut before and I was so excited to try it since I was told it was just mochi flour, no wheat. Why does there have to be high gluten flour in it?!? Some of us are allergic! I'm so sad now...

the twist's good – but you must try the rice flour donut holes. they're unadulterated (the twist has some crumbly covering), made from the same ingredients. they're highly addictive! also sold at koryodang.
