Rice Cake Skewer (Tteokkochi)
Tteokkochi is a sweet and spicy rice cake skewer that is a famous street food in South Korea. It is my ultimate favorite and I’ll show you how to make it at home.
Equipment
- Skewers
Ingredients
- Rice Cakes As much as you like (5-6 rice cakes per skewer)
- Sausage or Cocktail Hotdogs Optional
- 1 tbsp Red Pepper Paste
- 2 tbsp Ketchup
- 1/2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tbsp Garlic
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Corn Syrup
- Vegetable or Canola Oil For frying
Instructions
- Combine red pepper paste, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, corn syrup, and sugar.
- Boil the rice cakes in water for a minute, then drain, rinse, and pat dry.
- Stick the rice cakes in a skewer, about 5-6 rice cakes each. You can also skewer rice cakes and mini sausage or cocktail hotdogs alternatively.
- In low to medium heat with a bit of oil in a pan, place the skewers in. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until crispy, but not necessarily golden brown. Do little taps to check the crispiness.
- Once crispy, brush the sauce into the rice cakes, garnish with sesame seeds, serve, and enjoy!
