Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the ingredients needed to make Sotteok Sotteok. Using rice cakes specifically for Tteokbokki will give you a wonderfully chewy texture. Ensure the Vienna sausages are of a suitable size to be easily threaded onto the skewers.
Step 2
If your rice cakes are hard, blanch them in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes. This step softens them, making them easier to skewer and allowing them to absorb the sauce better for a more delicious outcome. (Tip: If you are using soft, fresh rice cakes, you can skip this step.)
Step 3
Thread the Vienna sausages and rice cakes alternately onto the skewers. A common and balanced arrangement is ‘sausage-rice cake-sausage-rice cake’. Make 22 skewers in total using this method.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of canola oil. Place the assembled Sotteok Sotteok skewers in the pan and fry them until they are golden brown and slightly crisp. It’s important to cook them thoroughly, turning them occasionally, until both the rice cakes and sausages are nicely browned. This ensures a delightful contrast between a slightly crispy exterior and a tender interior.
Step 5
Arrange the beautifully fried Sotteok Sotteok on a plate. Start by drizzling mustard sauce and ketchup attractively over them. Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top to add a touch of color and freshness. Next, generously brush the prepared spicy and sweet gochujang ketchup sauce all over the skewers. Finally, sprinkle with crushed peanuts and sesame seeds for a rich flavor and satisfying texture. Your delicious Sotteok Sotteok is ready!
Step 6
Decorate the mini Sotteok Sotteok skewers in the same way. Drizzle with mustard sauce and ketchup, sprinkle with parsley, and then coat them with the gochujang ketchup sauce. Finish by topping with crushed peanuts and sesame seeds for equally adorable and tasty mini versions.
Step 7
Congratulations! Your homemade Sotteok Sotteok rivals those from rest stops. Enjoy them while they’re warm to fully experience the fantastic combination of chewiness, sweetness, and nuttiness. Happy cooking!
