Garaetteok Skewers- 3 pieces of Garaetteok (Korean rice cakes, e.g., for tteokbokki or tteokguk, adjust as preferred)
Flavorful Sauce- 3 Tbsp Ketchup (for a sweet and tangy base)
- 0.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce (adds umami)
- 1 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste, for a hint of spice and depth)
- 3 Tbsp Oligodang (Korean corn syrup or rice syrup, for shine and sweetness)
- 3 Tbsp Ketchup (for a sweet and tangy base)
- 0.5 Tbsp Soy Sauce (adds umami)
- 1 Tbsp Gochujang (Korean chili paste, for a hint of spice and depth)
- 3 Tbsp Oligodang (Korean corn syrup or rice syrup, for shine and sweetness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, cut the garaetteok into bite-sized pieces. Lining your air fryer basket with parchment paper makes cleanup a breeze! Arrange the prepared garaetteok in the air fryer and cook at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes. You may need to adjust the cooking time depending on the size of your rice cakes and your air fryer’s performance.
Step 2
After 20 minutes, carefully remove the beautifully golden-brown garaetteok from the air fryer. They should be crispy on the outside and delightfully chewy on the inside – the perfect ‘crispy outside, chewy inside’ texture! Be cautious as they will be hot.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of ketchup, 0.5 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of gochujang, and 3 tablespoons of oligodang. Whisk them together until well combined. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a tiny bit of water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 4
While the grilled garaetteok are delicious on their own, serving them as skewers makes them even more fun to eat! Insert a wooden skewer into each piece of the cooked garaetteok. It’s best to let the rice cakes cool slightly before skewering to prevent them from breaking.
Step 5
Now, generously brush the flavorful sauce all over the skewered garaetteok. Using a pastry brush will help you apply it more evenly. Make sure to coat all sides of the rice cakes.
Step 6
Arrange the sauced garaetteok skewers on a plate for a delightful presentation. You’ve now created a simple yet incredibly tasty garaetteok skewer! They are best enjoyed immediately while still warm.
