Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your steaming equipment and ingredients: glutinous rice flour and red bean topping. Using a 7-ply stainless steel steamer will help you achieve professional-quality results at home.
Step 2
Layer the ingredients in the steamer: start with a layer of red bean topping, followed by glutinous rice flour, then another layer of red bean topping, another of glutinous rice flour, and finish with a final layer of red bean topping. Ensure a generous amount of red bean topping to prevent the cake from becoming dry.
Step 3
Now, steam the cake over high heat for 30 minutes. To ensure it steams properly like in a traditional siru (rice cake steamer), you can use a silicone gasket to create a tight seal, making it possible to make excellent Sirutteok at home. This is also a great advantage of using a 7-ply steamer.
Step 4
After 30 minutes, carefully open the steamer to reveal your beautifully made red bean Sirutteok.
Step 5
The cake has been steamed in two thick layers, making it a satisfying and substantial treat.
Step 6
Enjoy your perfectly chewy and delicious Chal Sirutteok! Cutting and serving it while warm will best highlight its wonderfully sticky texture. ^^
