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)
- 1–2 tablespoons sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 100–150g low-moisture shredded mozzarella
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the potato by peeling and chopping into chunks, then steam until tender (10-15 minutes).
- Mash the steamed potato in a bowl, then mix in rice flour, sugar, and salt until a smooth dough forms (5-7 minutes).
- Scoop a golf-ball-sized amount of dough, flatten it, and create a pocket (5 minutes).
- Add shredded mozzarella in the center, seal the dough, and flatten slightly into a disc (2-3 minutes).
- 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).
- Let cool briefly before serving (2-3 minutes).
Notes
For best results, avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure proper sealing to prevent cheese leakage.
