Main Ingredients- 1 medium potato
- 70g Korean wheat flour
Seasoning and Others- 12g sugar
- 2 pinches salt
- 3 Tbsp water
- 12g sugar
- 2 pinches salt
- 3 Tbsp water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients needed for the recipe cleanly. Wash the potato thoroughly under running water and get ready to peel it.
Step 2
Place the steamer over medium heat and preheat it until the water begins to boil. In a separate bowl, combine the Korean wheat flour, sugar, and salt, then sift them together. Sifting helps prevent lumps and ensures the ingredients mix evenly.
Step 3
Using a mandoline slicer or a knife, thinly julienne the peeled potato. Cutting them too thick will take longer to cook, so aim for thin, uniform strips for the best results.
Step 4
Add the julienned potatoes to the sifted flour, sugar, and salt mixture. Then, add 3 tablespoons of water. The amount of water can be slightly adjusted depending on the moisture content of the potatoes.
Step 5
Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients until the flour lightly coats the potato strips, creating a moist mixture. Be careful not to mash the potatoes; mix them softly. The consistency should not be too wet, just enough for a light flour coating.
Step 6
Once the steamer is producing plenty of steam, carefully place the mixed potato mixture onto the steamer rack. Spreading it out evenly without overlapping will ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Cover the steamer and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for developing the chewy texture as the potatoes cook. Avoid opening the lid frequently during steaming.
Step 8
After steaming for 5 minutes, turn off the heat and let the cakes rest (steam) in the covered steamer for another 5 minutes. This allows the potatoes to cook through completely and become even chewier. Your shiny and delicious Korean wheat potato cakes are now ready! They are best enjoyed while still warm.
