Main Ingredients- Tteokbokki rice cakes (garaetteok), plenty
Sweet Accompaniment- Honey (to taste)
- Honey (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your firm garaetteok (rice cakes). Place them in the microwave and heat for about 2 minutes until they become soft and pliable. This step is crucial as it softens the rice cakes, reviving their signature chewiness and ensuring a wonderfully tender texture after pressing.
Step 2
Once the rice cakes are softened, place them into your waffle maker. You don’t need to add any oil, as the natural texture of the rice cakes and the heat from the waffle maker are sufficient to create a delicious result. Close the waffle maker and press for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the surface of the rice cakes turns golden brown and slightly crispy. This will yield a perfect texture – crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
Step 3
Arrange the beautifully pressed waffle rice cakes on a plate. Drizzle generously with honey while they are still warm for an irresistible sweet finish. The combination of the crispy exterior, chewy interior, and sweet honey makes this an absolute winner for any late-night craving!
