Tteok is the Korean word for rice cakes made from glutinous rice or rice flour. In this version you pour boiling water over glutinous rice flour, knead the dough with sesame oil, fill small flat rounds with sweet red bean paste and steam them. Served warm, they are a soft, lightly sweet dessert.
Ingredients
- 250 g glutinous rice flour
- 220 ml boiling water
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 120 g sweet red bean paste (pat, made from adzuki beans) for the filling, as you like
Instructions
- Sift the glutinous rice flour into a large bowl.
- Bring the water to a boil and pour it into the flour a little at a time. Hold back the last 2 tbsp and add them only if the dough is crumbly.
- Add the salt and sugar and stir with a spoon until you have an even dough.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
- Brush the work surface with a little sesame oil, put the dough on it and knead hard for 5 minutes, until smooth and as soft as an earlobe.
- Divide the dough into 16 pieces. Flatten each piece, put a heaping teaspoon of bean paste in the middle and close the dough around it.
- Roll the pieces into balls and press them into rounds about 1 cm thick.
- Line your steamer basket with parchment paper or a damp cloth and set the tteok on it with space between them. Steam over boiling water for 20 minutes, until glossy and slightly translucent.
- Brush the finished tteok with the remaining sesame oil and serve warm.
