Main Ingredients- 1 cup tteokguk rice cakes (approx. 150g)
- 2 slices butter (approx. 20g)
- 3 Tbsp cooking oil (approx. 45ml)
- A pinch of black sesame seeds
- A handful of sliced almonds
Sweet Candied Sauce- 2 Tbsp cooking oil (approx. 30ml)
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar (approx. 15g)
- 1.5 Tbsp corn syrup or oligodang (approx. 22ml)
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil (approx. 30ml)
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar (approx. 15g)
- 1.5 Tbsp corn syrup or oligodang (approx. 22ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat 3 Tbsp of cooking oil and 2 slices of butter in a wide pan over medium-low heat. Once the butter is completely melted, add the tteokguk rice cakes.
Step 2
Gently stir the rice cakes with chopsticks or a spatula to prevent sticking, and pan-fry them until they are golden brown and slightly crispy on both sides. Achieving a lightly crispy exterior is key.
Step 3
While the rice cakes are cooking, clear the pan or use a separate small pan. Add all the sauce ingredients: 2 Tbsp cooking oil, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, and 1.5 Tbsp corn syrup. Melt them slowly over low heat, stirring gently to prevent the sugar from burning.
Step 4
Once the brown sugar has completely melted into a thick syrup consistency, add the golden-brown pan-fried rice cakes. Quickly toss and coat them thoroughly with the sauce. Stirring rapidly to ensure an even coating is crucial.
Step 5
Tip: When frying the tteokguk rice cakes, leave some space between them in the pan or stir frequently while cooking to prevent them from sticking together. This ensures each piece is separate and fries up crispier.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of black sesame seeds and sliced almonds over the finished candied tteokguk rice cakes for added nuttiness and a beautiful presentation. Enjoy the richer flavor!
