Even with just chocolate sticks and sugar, you can create an incredibly sweet and crispy delight. Let’s explore this delicious recipe using glutinous rice cakes!
Main Ingredients- Glutinous rice cake (about 3 bowls worth)
- Sausages 2
- Chocolate sticks (with nuts) 2
- Sugar 3 Tbsp (Xylitol sugar can be substituted)
- Peanut oil 6 Tbsp
- Soy sauce 2 Tbsp
- Honey 1 tsp
- Vinegar 1 tsp
- Sesame seeds, a pinch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the sugar filling, similar to making hotteok. While brown sugar is traditionally preferred, you can use xylitol sugar as a substitute. The chocolate sticks will add a nice brown color, and they often contain nuts, so you won’t need to add them separately.
Step 2
Lightly pan-fry the sausages. You can also boil them, but pan-frying them first in the same pan you’ll use for the rolls is more convenient and adds extra flavor.
Step 3
The chocolate sticks used here contain nougat and nuts, adding chewiness and sweetness. These sticks will create a unique flavor when wrapped with the glutinous rice cake and sausage.
Step 4
Frozen glutinous rice cakes can be easily thawed to a soft and sticky consistency by placing them in a rice cooker on the ‘keep warm’ setting for about 30 minutes. (For the previous glutinous rice cake and hwa-jeon recipes, please refer to [https://blog.naver.com/koreastencil/223007765504](https://blog.naver.com/koreastencil/223007765504).)
Step 5
Heat a pan with a generous amount of peanut oil. Flatten the thawed glutinous rice cake and place it in the pan. Then, place the pre-cooked sausage on top. Don’t worry if it looks messy at first; carefully roll it up like making an egg roll. This will form the base for your delicious glutinous rice cake sausage roll.
Step 6
Gently shape and secure the rolled glutinous rice cake and sausage to maintain its form. This creates a delightful ‘sotteok sotteok’ (sausage and rice cake skewer) appearance, but in a rolled form.
Step 7
If skewered, this would look exactly like ‘sotteok sotteok’. It has a texture reminiscent of being deep-fried, with a crispy exterior and an incredibly chewy center thanks to the glutinous rice cake. This texture is distinctly different from regular rice cakes.
Step 8
Now, let’s make hotteok using the remaining glutinous rice cake. Spread the glutinous rice cake thinly in the pan, and add plenty of oil to ensure it fries up crispy and doesn’t stick. Cook until golden brown.
Step 9
Prepare a special dipping sauce for the glutinous rice cake sausage rolls. Mix soy sauce, vinegar, and honey for a sweet and tangy flavor that perfectly complements the savory rolls.
Step 10
Add the sugar and chocolate sticks to the hotteok filling. As the chocolate stick melts in the pan, it will create a naturally sweet brown syrup, and the sugar will also dissolve, adding more sweetness.
Step 11
Once the bottom of the hotteok is golden brown and crispy, carefully flip it over. Continue to pan-fry both sides until perfectly crispy to complete your delicious glutinous rice cake hotteok.
Step 12
Your crispy and chewy glutinous rice cake sausage rolls and hotteok are ready! It’s amazing how such a delightful snack with fantastic texture and flavor can be made using just chocolate sticks and sugar. Enjoy!
Step 13
Cut the glutinous rice cake sausage rolls into bite-sized pieces for easy eating. This makes them convenient for dipping in sauce and handling with chopsticks.
Step 14
Arrange the finished glutinous rice cake sausage rolls on a plate. Serve them alongside freshly cooked rice, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for an appealing presentation. Sprinkle some sesame seeds into the dipping sauce for extra flavor. Presenting the hotteok and sausage rolls together creates a satisfying meal or a wonderful snack utilizing glutinous rice cakes.
