Honey-Glazed Rice Cakes (가래떡맛탕)
These think traditional rice cakes are made from glutinous rice flour, which gives them a soft and chewy texture. They are pan-fried & coated in sticky honey syrup, making them the perfect combination of sweet and savory.
Ingredients
- 3 Big rice cakes (Garae Tteok)
- 6-7 Nuts (Almonds, Walnutes etc.)
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 3 tbsp Water
- Cooking Oil
Instructions
- Cut the rice cakes into ~5 cm long pieces.
- Add a generous amount of oil to a cooking pan and heat up the oil over medium to low heat.
- Add the rice cakes and briefly fry them on each side until the outside becomes slightly crispy. Remove the rice cakes from the oil and set aside.
- In a second pan, heat up 3 tbsp of honey and 3 tbsp of water. Stir slowly to combine.
- When the mixture starts to form bubbles, add the rice cakes and the nuts.
- Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, until the rice cakes and nuts are covered with the honey syrup.
- Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer.
