Chewy and Sweet Persimmon Rice Cake Rolls
A Simple Holiday Snack or Brunch! Delicious Persimmon and Rice Cake Rolls Recipe
These persimmon rice cake rolls are a delightful treat made with semi-dried persimmons, offering a chewy texture complemented by the satisfying chewiness of rice cakes. The addition of cheese and ham creates a wonderful blend of flavors, making them perfect as a delightful holiday snack for children or even a simple, hearty brunch option. Using semi-dried persimmons makes them pliable and easy to shape. (For a firmer shape, you can use fully dried persimmons.)
Ingredients- 2 semi-dried persimmons
- 2 rice cakes (garaetteok)
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 slices processed ham
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients for your persimmon rice cake rolls. Remove the stems from the persimmons. Cut the rice cakes into bite-sized pieces, about 3-4 cm long.
Step 2
Briefly blanch the sliced ham in boiling water to remove any impurities. Then, cut each slice lengthwise into two strips and fold them into pretty ribbon shapes. These ham ribbons will add a lovely visual touch when skewered.
Step 3
Remove the stem from each persimmon. Carefully make a lengthwise slit down the center of the persimmon, being careful not to cut all the way through, and gently open it up. This will make it easier to fill and roll.
Step 4
Lay one slice of cheddar cheese and one piece of rice cake onto the opened persimmon. Carefully roll the persimmon around the cheese and rice cake, enclosing them completely. Roll it tightly so it doesn’t unravel when sliced. Once rolled, cut the persimmon rolls into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm each.
Step 5
Assemble your skewers! First, thread a prepared ham ribbon onto the skewer, followed by the cut persimmon rice cake rolls. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make more rolls. Your delicious persimmon rice cake rolls are now ready!
