Korean Rice Cakes with Honey are soft, chewy rice treats drizzled with rich honey and topped with sesame seeds and nuts for extra texture. This comforting snack or dessert is lightly sweet, satisfying, and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sweet rice flour
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts such as almonds or walnuts
  • Extra honey for drizzling

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet rice flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. Gradually add the warm water while stirring until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough gently until smooth and pliable.
  4. Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into bite-sized rounds or logs.
  5. Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil and cook the rice cakes for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
  6. Remove the rice cakes with a slotted spoon and rinse briefly under cool water to prevent sticking.
  7. Toss the rice cakes lightly with sesame oil.
  8. Arrange on a serving plate and drizzle generously with honey.
  9. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped nuts on top before serving.

Notes

  • Add cinnamon for a warm spiced flavor.
  • Maple syrup or agave syrup can replace honey for a vegan option.
  • Fill the rice cakes with sweet red bean paste for a traditional variation.
  • Top with shredded coconut or crushed pistachios for added texture.
  • Serve with fresh fruit such as strawberries or bananas.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently by steaming or microwaving with a damp paper towel to restore softness.
