Hoppang (Korean: 호빵;lit. hot bread) is a warm snack that is sold throughout South Korea. It is aconvenience food version ofjjinppang (steamed bread) and is typically filled with smooth, sweetenedred bean paste.

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 Chinesebaozi, 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.^[2]

Hoppang wasa brand name for the ready-to-eatjjinppang developed bySamlip in 1970, which combined theonomatopoeiaho, ho (the sound for blowing on hot steamed bun) andppang, the Korean word for bread. Also it has meaning of 'The whole family eats together and smiles; Ho ho'.^[2] The brand name soon became the generic name forconveniencejjinppang.

Typicalhoppang is filled with sweetenedred bean paste,^[3] but it is also commonly sold stuffed with vegetables and meat, pizza toppings, pumpkin, orbuldak.^[1][4]

Steamer- or microwave-readyhoppang is often packaged in multiples atsupermarkets andgrocery stores, while manyconvenience stores sellhoppang throughout the winter months in cylindrical heating cabinets designed to steam and keep them warm.^[5][6]
