Make Delicious Tteok-Cheese Snacks: Incredibly Simple Recipe!
The perfect combination of chewy tteok (rice cakes) and stretchy mozzarella cheese! Tteok-cheese is a simple yet incredibly tasty snack, perfect for when you’re craving something quick or for kids’ treats. Make it easily at home!
Main Ingredients- Tteokguk tteok (rice cake soup slices) – about 1-2 cups (as much as you like)
- Mozzarella cheese – about 1-1.5 cups (to your preference)
- Dried parsley flakes – a pinch (for garnish)
- Powdered sugar – a pinch (if you want to add sweetness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gently rinse the tteokguk tteok under cold water. This helps remove any dust or debris and prevents the rice cakes from sticking together. Prepare the mozzarella cheese. Adjust the amount of cheese based on the quantity of tteok you are using.
Step 2
Place the rinsed tteokguk tteok in a frying pan, then generously cover it with mozzarella cheese. It’s important to cook over medium heat. If cooked over high heat, the tteok might burn, or the cheese may not melt evenly.
Step 3
While the tteok is partially covered by cheese, use a spatula or chopsticks to spread the tteok out. This helps the cheese melt smoothly and spread evenly over the tteok. Once the cheese starts to melt and stick, reduce the heat to low.
Step 4
Now, drizzle a little grapeseed oil (or cooking oil) around the edges of the pan. The oil will seep between the tteok and cheese, making the tteok chewier and coating the cheese to prevent it from burning. Gently stir the tteok and cheese with your spatula as they cook.
Step 5
The dish is almost ready when the tteok becomes soft and chewy, and the cheese is completely melted and stretches with the tteok. It tastes even better if the tteok is slightly golden brown on the edges. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Step 6
Transfer the finished tteok-cheese to a plate. If you like, sprinkle some dried parsley flakes on top for a nice appearance and fragrant aroma. For a touch of sweetness, dust lightly with powdered sugar. Enjoy it immediately while warm to savor its chewy and savory flavors. Enjoy your delicious snack!
