How to Make Injeolmi Toast Step-by-Step

  • Melt 10g / 0.35 oz butter in a preheated pan over medium heat and toast 2 slices of white bread until golden brown on both sides.
  • Remove the bread from the heat, spread 1/2 tbsp of honey evenly on one toasted slice, and place 3 pieces of injeolmi on top.
  • Spread the remaining 1/2 tbsp of honey on the second slice of bread and place it on top to close the injeolmi toast sandwich.
  • Microwave the assembled sandwich on high for two 30-second intervals (60 seconds total) until the rice cakes melt and stretch like mozzarella cheese. If your injeolmi pieces are thick, add a third 30-second cycle (90 seconds total).
  • Slice the warm korean rice cake toast into 4 equal quarters.

How to Store and Reheat

It is best to eat this injeolmi toast dessert right away while it is warm and chewy. Rice cakes harden easily, and because this is rice cake inside bread, it is hard to maintain the texture as it is, and the soybean powder gets soaked by the texture of the bread and honey, so we recommend eating it immediately after making it.
