Dotori-muk[1] (Korean: 도토리묵) or acorn jelly[1] is a Korean dish. It is a jelly made from acorn starch. Although "muk" means "jelly", when used without qualifiers, it usually refers to dotori-muk. The practice of making dotori-muk originated in mountainous areas of ancient Korea, when abundant oak trees produced enough acorns each autumn to become a viable source of food. Dotori-muk does not spoil easily, so it was used as a lunch food when traveling a long way.[2]
