Main Ingredients- 2 packs of pre-made Galbi Rice Cake (choose your favorite brand)
- 4-6 slices of cheese (cheddar or mozzarella recommended)
- A handful of sprouts (for a refreshing, slightly bitter note)
- 12-18 mini biscuits or crackers (for the canapé base)
- 1 white part of a leek (adds a subtle sweetness and aroma)
- 3 mini bell peppers (use a variety of colors like red, yellow, and orange)
Galbi Seasoning (Optional)- 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 Tbsp minced garlic
- Pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 Tbsp minced garlic
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the galbi rice cake. If using pre-made, cook it according to package directions, or pan-fry over medium heat with a little oil, flipping until golden brown and slightly crisp on both sides. If the galbi is very thick, cook it over low heat to ensure it’s cooked through. Once cooked, cut the galbi into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3 pieces for canapés and 1.5-2 cm thick slices for skewers). For an enhanced flavor, you can mix soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and pepper, then brush it onto the galbi while cooking.
Step 2
Next, prepare the sliced cheese. Cut each slice of cheese into 4 equal portions. Place the cut cheese pieces on a small grill pan or a regular frying pan over low heat. Lightly grill until the cheese is just melted and slightly golden. This enhances the cheese’s flavor and gives it a beautiful appearance, elevating the canapés. Be careful not to let it burn; a light grill is key.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the galbi vegetable skewers! Thread the cooked galbi pieces and fresh vegetables onto skewers in an attractive arrangement. Alternate pieces of galbi with slices of the white part of the leek (cut to about 1.5-2 cm length). Add colorful mini bell pepper pieces cut to a similar size. Threading them in the order of galbi, bell pepper, and leek creates visually appealing and deliciously balanced skewers.
Step 4
Finally, place the assembled galbi vegetable skewers on a grill pan or frying pan and lightly grill them. This step further enhances the flavors of the galbi and vegetables, allowing them to be enjoyed warm. Now, for the galbi canapés: place a piece of cooked galbi on a biscuit or cracker, top it with a lightly grilled slice of cheese, and finish with a neat arrangement of fresh sprouts. For an extra touch, you can add a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a dollop of whole grain mustard. These beautiful dishes are perfect for entertaining guests or as a special treat for kids!
