Sotteok Sotteok (Korean Sausage and Rice cake Skewers)
Sotteok sotteok is a delicious Korean street food made with skewered sausages and rice cakes, glazed in a sweet and spicy sauce.
Servings: 5 skewers
Equipment
- Grill
- 8 inch bamboo skewers
Ingredients
- 15 Korean spicy pork sausages or Vienna sausage
- 15 cylinder rice cakes (garae- tteok)
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
Sticky sweet & spicy sauce
- 2 tbsp gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
- 1 tbsp gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp yoridang or any sweetening syrup
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tsp chili oil optional
Garnish
- 1 tbsp crushed peanuts or sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp chopped green onion
Instructions
- If you're using frozen or refrigerated rice cakes, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds to a minute until they are soft. Then drop them into some cold water to stop the cooking, rinse & drain.
- Make 3 diagonal cuts into the sausages
- Skewer 3 pieces each of the sausage and rice cakes in an alternating pattern, then brush with a little oil.
- In a small sauce pan, add all the sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer until slightly thickened.
- Grill or pan fry over medium heat until both sides are crispy and slightly charred.
- Brush the sauce on both sides. You can remove the skewers from the grill before doing adding the sauce but I like to keep it grilling just a few seconds longer.
- Garnish with crushed peanuts and chopped green onions.
