Calories 376

Ingredients

  • 100 g glutinous rice flour (Chapssalgaru) 3.5 oz
  • 100 g hot water 3.5 oz
  • 1.5 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil to grease the bowl and rolling pin
  • 5 tbsp roasted soybean powder Konggaru

Equipment

Method

  1. Mix the sugar and salt into the glutinous rice flour.
    Do not add the hot water all at once; pour it in little by little while kneading to make ikbanjuk (hot water dough).
    Pouring hot water slowly from a kettle into the bowl of glutinous rice flour.
    2. Tip: Adjust the water until you reach the desired texture. I used the full 100g / 3.5 oz. Dry glutinous rice flour requires more water.
  2. Microwave at 800w for 2 minutes.
    Coat a wooden rolling pin and a bowl with cooking oil, and pound the rice cake with the wooden rolling pin.
    Microwave for an additional 30 seconds.

    3. Microwaving in 30-second increments is recommended depending on how cooked your batch is.
  3. Remove the rice cake from the microwave and knead/pound it well. The more you pound, the chewier it becomes.
    Pounding the hot rice cake dough vigorously with the oiled rolling pin.
  4. Shape the rice cake into a rectangle.
    Sprinkle roasted konggaru on a cutting board and coat the rice cake evenly.
    Placing the hot rectangular rice cake dough directly onto the bed of soybean powder.
  5. Cut into bite-sized pieces and enjoy.
