Essential Ingredients- 18 Dumpling wrappers (store-bought or homemade)
- 100g Mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, peanuts, etc., to your preference)
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
- 10 Tbsp Brown sugar
- Cooking oil, as needed (for pan-frying)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your mixed nuts. You can use any nuts you have on hand, such as walnuts, almonds, or sunflower seeds. Roughly chop them using a knife or a food processor. It’s important not to chop them too finely, as this will reduce the crunchy texture. Aim for a slightly coarse chop.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the chopped nuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon powder. Mix them thoroughly. The sweetness of the brown sugar and the fragrant cinnamon will blend perfectly with the nuts to create a delicious Hotteok filling. Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar to your taste.
Step 3
Now it’s time to assemble the dumplings. Lightly moisten the edges of the dumpling wrappers with water. Place a generous spoonful of the brown sugar and nut filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to create a semi-circle and firmly press the edges to seal. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking. You can shape them into half-moons or any other preferred shape.
Step 4
Finally, heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Carefully place the assembled Hotteok dumplings into the hot oil. Pan-fry them on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning, ensuring the insides are warm and the outsides are perfectly crisp. Enjoy your delicious Hotteok Dumplings while they’re warm!
