Savory Hotteok - Cheese, Corn, and Green Onion
Originating from Korea, hotteok is a popular street food usually found in the winter. Although traditionally sweet, I decided to try a savory version with cheese and corn.
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ cup water warmed 100F to 110F
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sweet white rice flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 ¼ cup milk plant alternative (almond, oat, etc.) recommended. warmed 100F to 110F
- 4 ounces Velveeta cheese cubed
- 3 stalks green onion sliced
- ⅓ can corn
- salt to taste
- peper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rice flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Make sure the salt does not contact the yeast before mixing. Add water and milk.
- Cover and let the dough sit and proof for at least 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Punch down the dough and let it proof for about 20 to 30 minutes or until it doubles in size again.
- During the second proof, begin prepping the cubed cheese, corn, and green onion.
- Pour a good amount of oil in a non-stick skillet, enough to fry the hotteok on one side. This would be approximately 1/2 an inch. Heat the oil until it is nice and hot.
- Pour a small amount of dough in the pan. Add the cheese, corn, and green onion. Salt and pepper to taste. Cover with another pour of dough.
- Flip to fry both sides until golden brown
- Enjoy!
