Sauce Ingredients- Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) 0.5 Tbsp
- Oil 1 Tbsp
- Ketchup 2 Tbsp
- Gochujang (Korean chili paste) 0.5 Tbsp
- Sugar 1 Tbsp
- Oligosaccharide 3 Tbsp
- Cooking wine (Mirin, etc.) 2 Tbsp
- Soy sauce 1 tsp
- Minced garlic 1 Tbsp
- Sesame oil 1 Tbsp
- Toasted sesame seeds, a pinch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare to make the delicious So-tteok-so-tteok sauce. First, in a bowl, combine 0.5 Tbsp of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) and 1 Tbsp of oil. Mix them well. This mixture will be added to the sauce later to enhance its flavor.
Step 2
2. Prepare the rice cakes and sausages for skewering. Cut the garae-tteok into bite-sized pieces, about 4-5 cm long. If the rice cakes are hard, blanch them in boiling water for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until softened, then drain and toss with 1 Tbsp of sesame oil. This will prevent them from sticking and make them chewier. Blanch the sausages in boiling water as well.
Step 3
3. Thread the prepared rice cakes and sausages onto skewers, alternating between them to create the So-tteok-so-tteok shape. Alternating them not only looks appealing but also ensures the sauce coats evenly for maximum flavor.
Step 4
4. Now, let’s complete the delicious sauce! Add the previously mixed gochugaru and oil mixture to a saucepan. Then, add 2 Tbsp of ketchup, 0.5 Tbsp of gochujang, 1 Tbsp of sugar, 3 Tbsp of oligosaccharide, 2 Tbsp of cooking wine, 1 tsp of soy sauce, and 1 Tbsp of minced garlic. Mix all ingredients well. Pour this mixture into the saucepan and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes. The sauce will slightly thicken, and all the flavors will meld together beautifully.
Step 5
5. Let’s make the So-tteok-so-tteok crispy! Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Carefully place the skewered So-tteok-so-tteok into the hot oil. Fry for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the rice cakes are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to burn them. 6. Once the rice cakes are fried to perfection, turn off the heat. While the So-tteok-so-tteok is still hot, generously coat them with the prepared sauce. Finally, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for a perfect finish! Enjoy your delicious, crispy, and chewy So-tteok-so-tteok!
