Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Looking for a simple yet special snack on a holiday morning instead of a heavy meal? If you’ve discovered some Songpyeon hiding in your fridge, pay attention! This Chuseok, we had 2kg of leftover frozen Songpyeon from the 4kg we generously prepared, so we decided to make a delicious breakfast/snack using them. Let’s begin the transformation of chewy Songpyeon!
Step 2
First, let’s steam the frozen Songpyeon to perfection. Pour water into your steamer, place the frozen Songpyeon inside, cover with a lid, and steam for about 15 minutes until steam rises. This will make the Songpyeon moist and soft. Freshly steamed Songpyeon are pliable and will result in a chewier texture when made into waffles.
Step 3
While the Songpyeon are steaming, prepare your toppings. Chop your favorite nuts and dried fruits like peanuts, cashews, and dried cranberries. Chopping them will add a nutty flavor and enjoyable texture when sprinkled on top of the waffles.
Step 4
Now, let’s start making the Songpyeon Waffles! Preheat your waffle maker, then melt a thin layer of butter and spread it evenly over the heated plates. This prevents the Songpyeon from sticking and adds a delicious buttery aroma. Place the steamed Songpyeon onto the waffle maker, leaving a little space between them, then close the lid and cook until golden brown.
Step 5
Carefully transfer the well-cooked Songpyeon Waffles onto a plate. Next, drizzle some oligosaccharide (or corn syrup) for sweetness, and dust with powdered sugar using a sieve for an aesthetically pleasing presentation. Your Songpyeon Waffles are now ready!
Step 6
They are delicious just as they are! The freshly baked Songpyeon Waffles offer a delightful contrast between the crispy exterior and the chewy interior of the rice cake, with a subtle sweetness that’s hard to resist.
Step 7
For an even richer flavor experience, generously sprinkle the chopped nuts you prepared. The addition of nutty flavors will complete your ‘Songpyeon Waffle’ dessert, making it crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and wonderfully nutty. It’s an exceptional snack that’s both beautiful and delicious.
Step 8
These waffles pair perfectly with a warm cup of coffee or a refreshing bowl of Sikhye (Korean rice drink). If you have leftover Songpyeon from Chuseok, try this recipe to have a fun cooking session with your children and create delightful memories with delicious Songpyeon Waffles. It’s a highly recommended recipe perfect for the whole family to make and enjoy together!
