Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Hello everyone! Today, I’ll show you how to make a super easy and delicious snack using rice cake soup dough: ‘Tteokppang’. You can make it quickly with rice cake soup dough you already have at home, without needing any special ingredients.
Step 2
Making this Tteokppang is truly, truly simple! You only need a minimal amount of ingredients. Please prepare the rice cake soup dough that’s been stored in your freezer or refrigerator.
Step 3
To make the rice cakes soft, place them in cool or lukewarm water and soak for about 20 minutes. This will help them puff up more tenderly when fried.
Step 4
After soaking for about 20 minutes until slightly softened, drain the rice cake soup dough in a colander. Then, spread them out on kitchen towels and press down firmly to remove excess moisture. Ensuring the rice cakes are well-dried is key to achieving extra crispiness and deliciousness when air frying.
Step 5
Now it’s time to place the dried rice cake soup dough into the air fryer basket. Arrange the rice cakes in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap. This ensures that all the rice cakes are evenly exposed to heat and fry up to a perfect crisp.
Step 6
Set your air fryer to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and fry for about 10 minutes. Keep in mind that air fryer performance can vary slightly between models, so it’s a good idea to check the rice cakes periodically and adjust the frying time as needed. You’ll hear a ‘sizzling’ sound as they fry, and you’ll notice them puffing up like magic. It’s truly fascinating!
Step 7
Transfer the freshly fried Tteokppang to a nice serving dish. Prepare some sweet honey to drizzle over them. It’s amazing how rice cake soup dough can turn into such a delightful puff in just 10 minutes, isn’t it?
Step 8
