Description
Discover the savory delight of Kimchi Cheese Hotteok, a delicious stuffed pancake filled with kimchi and mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup kimchi, chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, mix the chopped kimchi and shredded mozzarella cheese in a separate bowl. Set aside.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
- Flatten each ball into a disk about 4 inches in diameter. Place about 2 tablespoons of the kimchi and cheese mixture in the center of each disk.
- Carefully fold the edges of the disk over the filling, pinching to seal it tightly. Roll it back into a ball.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil. Place the stuffed dough balls seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and crispy.
- Drizzle sesame oil over the pancakes while cooking for added flavor. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) to the kimchi and cheese mixture.
- You can substitute the mozzarella cheese with cheddar or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.
