Essential Ingredients- 1 cup rice (approx. 180ml)
- 1 cup water (approx. 180ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by combining 1 cup of rice and 1 cup of water in your earthenware pot (ttukbaegi). For best results, it’s recommended to soak the rice for about 30 minutes beforehand. Place the pot over high heat and bring the water to a boil.
Step 2
Once the water starts to boil vigorously, reduce the heat to medium. Continue to cook on medium heat until the water level subsides and the surface of the rice is visible. This step ensures the rice grains begin to cook evenly.
Step 3
As the water level drops further, turn the heat down to the lowest setting (low heat) and cover the pot tightly with its lid. Let the rice cook for 10 minutes on low heat. Cooking on low heat with the lid on is crucial to prevent the rice from burning or sticking to the bottom.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, turn off the heat completely. Keep the lid on and allow the rice to steam for an additional 5 minutes. This steaming process allows the moisture to distribute evenly throughout the rice, resulting in fluffy, perfectly cooked grains. Your delicious Ttukbaegi Bap is now ready to enjoy!
