Cute Halloween Mushroom Finger Sandwiches
Let’s Make Halloween Mushroom Sandwiches with Tteokbokki Rice Cakes as Fingers!
Getting ready for Halloween? Cookies can be a hassle, so I tried making finger shapes with Tteokbokki rice cakes! ^^ Make these simple and fun with your kids.
Ingredients- 1 Shiitake mushroom
- 1/2 Onion
- 2 Slices of sandwich bread
- 2 Eggs
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1/2 Cucumber
- 4 Slices of Spam
- 2 Slices of cheese
- A little ketchup
- A little mayonnaise
- A little mustard sauce
- Plenty of butter
- A little black pepper
- 2 Pieces of tteokbokki rice cake
- A few slivered almonds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients beforehand. Wash and trim everything you need. Slice the shiitake mushroom (removing the tough stem first), thinly slice the onion and cucumber, and cut the Spam into desired pieces.
Step 2
Generously coat a heated pan with butter. The rich buttery aroma will greatly enhance the sandwich’s flavor.
Step 3
Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and onions to the pan and sauté them together. Cook until they turn golden brown and fragrant. Lightly sprinkle with black pepper to add depth of flavor.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are partially cooked, place the sandwich bread slices in the pan and toast them alongside the vegetables. Grilling until lightly golden and slightly crispy will improve the sandwich’s texture.
Step 5
In a separate pan, add a little butter and fry the eggs to your preference, whether sunny-side up or over-easy. Be careful not to break the yolks.
Step 6
All the components for your sandwich are now ready! You have toasted bread, sautéed mushrooms and onions, fried eggs, fresh lettuce, cucumber slices, Spam, and cheese.
Step 7
On one slice of the toasted bread, artfully arrange your ingredients. Layer the lettuce, cucumber, Spam, cheese, sautéed vegetables, and fried egg. Top with the other slice of toasted bread to complete the sandwich.
Step 8
Your delicious Halloween Mushroom Sandwich is complete! This makes for a satisfying meal or a delightful Halloween treat.
Step 9
Now, let’s make the fun ‘Tteokbokki Rice Cake Fingers’ to accompany your sandwich! This is a great activity to do with children.
Step 10
Boil the Tteokbokki rice cakes in water until they become soft and pliable. Avoid overcooking them, as you want to retain a pleasant chewy texture.
Step 11
Rinse the cooked rice cakes briefly in cold water to cool them slightly. Then, cut each rice cake in half lengthwise, similar to how you’d cut for kimbap, to create finger-like shapes.
Step 12
It’s time to add those spooky finger details! Using scissors or a knife, carefully make a small incision at one end of each rice cake to create a space for the almond ‘fingernail’. Gently press a slivered almond into this crevice. Next, lightly brush the rice cakes with sesame oil or perilla oil for a nice sheen and added nutty flavor. Finally, place them in a preheated oven or air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes until they are golden brown. For an extra crispy texture, you can bake them for up to 20 minutes.
Step 13
Voila! Your cute Halloween Mushroom Sandwiches and spooky Tteokbokki Rice Cake Fingers are ready! They’ll make your Halloween party even more special. Enjoy your delicious creations!
