Traditional Korean red bean porridge

Workers demonstrate how to make red bean porridge, called "patjuk," at the Korean Folk Village in Yongin, 40 kilometers south of Seoul, on Dec. 20, 2022, two days ahead of "Dongji," or the winter solstice. Korean people customarily eat patjuk on Dongji in accordance with the ancient belief that the red color of the beans provides positive energy to drive away evil spirits. (Yonhap)
