Equipment

  • frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup warm milk 240 ml
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • ½ cup glutinous rice flour 65 gr
  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour 185 gr
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese 165 gr
  • for frying vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine together milk, salt, sugar, oil, and instant yeast. Add the sifted glutinous rice flour and all-purpose flour into the mixture and mix with a wooden spatula until well combined.
  • Cover the bowl and rest the dough for 1 hour at warm temperature or until doubled.
  • Mix the dough with a wooden spatula until the gas is released. Cover the bowl and rest the dough again for 20 minutes at a warm temperature.
  • Grease your hands lightly with vegetable oil. Take a handful of dough with your hands. Flatten and spread the dough. Add 1 ½ tablespoons of cheese filling onto it. Gather the edges and seal the dough. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Preheat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and add a thin layer of vegetable oil.
  • Once the oil is heated, place one dough onto the frying pan, the sealed part down. Cook for 25-30 seconds or until the bottom is light golden brown. Flip and press the dough with a spatula or hotteok hand presser until flat and thin. Cook until the bottom is golden brown for about 1 minute. Flip the dough again and cook for about 1 more minute to let the cheese filling fully melt.
  • Transfer the cooked hotteok to the paper-lined plate to remove the excess oil. Serve hot.
