Crispy and indulgent molten goodness guaranteed to sweeten your day! Introducing my FAVOURITE Korean Street Snack. I could eat three of these at one go... IT'S THAT GOOD!

Tip: I've used Brown Sugar and Cinnamon as the filling but feel free to use your favourite ingredients! Use JapChae, Cheese, Spicy Octopus or Stir-Fried Pork/ Beef etc. Go crazy! It's your time in the kitchen, enjoy it~


Prep Time: 10 mins | Dough Rising Time: 2 - 3 hours | Makes 6 pieces

Ingredients


(Hotteok Dough)

  • 2 Tsp Instant Yeast

  • 2 Tbsp Granulated White Sugar

  • 1/2 Tsp Salt

  • 1 Cup Warm Water (slightly warmer than room temperature) - approx 227g

  • 1 Tbsp Cooking Oil

  • 2 Cups Plain Flour - approx 278g

(Filling)

  • 1/2 Cup Fine Textured Brown Sugar

  • 1 Tsp Cinnamon Powder

  • 1/4 Cup Chopped Almonds

  • 6 Tbsp Cooking Oil


Directions


(Hotteok Dough) - Prepare 2 - 3 hours before

  1. Combine ingredients for the dough (except the Flour) in a mixing bowl and stir well using a pair of chopsticks.

  2. Once well mixed, add in the flour and cover with cling wrap. Let the dough rise at room temperature for 1 - 2 hours.

Note: The dough should have doubled in size after 2 - 3 hours. It should also be stretchy and really sticky. You can add some oil to your hands before handling the dough to prevent it from sticking.


(Assembly & Cooking)

  1. Mix together the ingredients (except the oil) for the filling and set aside.

  2. Lightly knead the Hotteok Dough and divide into 6 portions.

  3. Pour 1 Tbsp of Oil on your hands and pick up the dough, creating a well in the centre for the filling. Put 2 - 3 Teaspoons of the filling into the well and seal it with the dough. Repeat for the other pieces. *See video below*

  4. Add some cooking oil to a pan and start pan-frying the hotter, pressing the dough downwards as you go until the dough is nice and golden brown. *See video below*

  5. Ready to serve!
