Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3.5 oz fresh or frozen Korean rice cakes
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Oil (for frying, about 2-3 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Soften Rice Cakes: If using frozen rice cakes, submerge them in warm water for 20-30 minutes until softened. If using fresh rice cakes, skip this step.
  2. Separate Rice Cakes: Gently separate the rice cakes to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  3. Heat Oil and Fry: Preheat a frying pan over low to medium heat and add oil. Once the oil is hot, add the rice cakes and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop a crispy exterior.
  4. Coat with Sugar and Cinnamon: Remove the crispy rice cakes from the pan and immediately toss them in a mixture of brown sugar and ground cinnamon. You can either roll them in the mixture or shake them in a sealed container until fully coated.
  5. Serve Warm: Best enjoyed warm when the rice cakes maintain their chewy texture inside and the coating is fresh and flavorful.

Notes

  • Use fresh rice cakes for quicker preparation; frozen rice cakes require soaking.
  • Adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar to your taste preference.
  • Ensure oil temperature is not too high to avoid burning; low to medium heat is ideal.
  • The dish is best served immediately for optimal texture.
  • Can be paired with a dipping sauce like chocolate or caramel for extra indulgence.
