Yaksik (Korean: 약식; lit. medicine food) or yakbap (약밥; lit. medicine rice) is a sweet Korean dish made by steaming glutinous rice, and mixing with chestnuts, jujubes, and pine nuts. It is seasoned with honey or brown sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and sometimes cinnamon. It is traditionally eaten on Jeongwol Daeboreum (정월대보름), a Korean holiday which falls on the 15th day of the 1st month of the Korean calendar (lunisolar), but also for weddings and hwangap festivities.
