Description

Master the art of making Korean Cheese Hotteok, a delightful snack with a crispy exterior and melty mozzarella filling.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium potato (~300g, cooked and mashed)
  • 1 cup rice flour (adjust as needed)
  • 12 tablespoons sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 100150g low-moisture shredded mozzarella
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potato by peeling and chopping into chunks, then steam until tender (10-15 minutes).
  2. Mash the steamed potato in a bowl, then mix in rice flour, sugar, and salt until a smooth dough forms (5-7 minutes).
  3. Scoop a golf-ball-sized amount of dough, flatten it, and create a pocket (5 minutes).
  4. Add shredded mozzarella in the center, seal the dough, and flatten slightly into a disc (2-3 minutes).
  5. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, fry the hotteok for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, ensuring cheese is melted (10-12 minutes total).
  6. Let cool briefly before serving (2-3 minutes).

Notes

For best results, avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure proper sealing to prevent cheese leakage.
