Ingredients
| 1 cup | all-purpose flour |
| 1 cup | glutinous rice flour |
| 2 tablespoons | sugar |
| 1 teaspoon | salt |
| 1 teaspoon | instant yeast |
| 3/4 cup | warm water |
| 2 tablespoons | vegetable oil |
| 1/2 cup | brown sugar |
| 1 teaspoon | ground cinnamon |
| 1/4 cup | chopped walnuts |
| — | oil for frying |
Instructions
- 1 In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, glutinous rice flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
- 2 Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- 3 Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- 4 While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by mixing brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped walnuts in a small bowl.
- 5 Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead it briefly on a floured surface.
- 6 Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and flatten each portion into a small disk.
- 7 Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center of each disk, then gather the edges to seal and form a ball.
- 8 Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- 9 Place the filled dough balls seam-side down in the pan, and flatten them gently with a spatula.
- 10 Fry the hotteok for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- 11 Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels before serving.
Tips
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
