Main Ingredients- 12 Mokwoo-chon Vienna Sausages (following strict standards)
- 12 Rice Cakes (tteok), sized for skewers
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the Mokwoo-chon Vienna sausages. Lightly grease a pan and grill the sausages over medium-low heat until golden brown on all sides. Be careful not to cook on high heat, as this can burn the outside while leaving the inside undercooked.
Step 2
To prepare the rice cakes, steam them for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened, or boil them in water until tender. This ensures they are easy to skewer and have a pleasant, chewy texture. Once softened, rinse them under cold water to cool, then drain thoroughly. Thread the slightly cooled grilled sausages and the prepared rice cakes onto the skewers, alternating them. It’s best to let the sausages cool slightly after grilling before skewering to avoid burning your fingers and to make threading easier. A typical pattern is ‘rice cake → sausage → rice cake → sausage’.
Step 3
Place the skewers with the threaded rice cakes and sausages back into the pan. Over low heat, gently roll the skewers to lightly toast the rice cakes and sausages. This step adds a wonderful slightly crispy texture to the outside while keeping the inside moist and delicious. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 4
Finally, let’s make the delicious sauce! In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp Gochujang, 2 Tbsp Sugar, 3 Tbsp Ketchup, 1 Tbsp Oligodang, and 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce. Mix well until smooth. Generously brush this sauce all over the cooked So-tteok So-tteok skewers. For an extra touch of visual appeal, sprinkle with parsley flakes if desired. Now it’s time to enjoy your incredibly appetizing and flavorful homemade So-tteok So-tteok!
