KOREAN CANDIED SWEET POTATOES (GOGUMA MATTANG)

Ingredients

  • 500 g sweet potato (1.1 pounds), you can use any sweet potatoes that are suitable for deep-frying or roasting (e.g. beauregard‘ variety). FYI, I used Korean sweet potatoes.

  • Some crushed nuts or roasted sesame seeds, to garnish

Caramel sauce

  • 3 Tbsp raw sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cooking oil , I used rice bran oil

Instructions

  1. Wash the sweet potato, peel the skin and cut it into small chunks (not too thick as it will take longer to cook through). Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to reduce the starch.

  3. Boil the deep-frying oil in a large pot until it reaches 180 degree C (356F) and add the sweet potatoes and cook until cooked through (about 5 to 8 minutes).
  4. Take out the fried sweet potatoes and place them onto some kitchen paper to soak away the excess oil.
  5. Add the cooking oil in a well heated pan and scatter the sugar around. Melt it over medium high heat until the sugar dissolves then quickly reduce the heat to low. Add the sweet potatoes into the pan and mix well with the sauce (for 1 to 2 minutes).
  6. Move the sweet potatoes onto non stick baking paper to cool down for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve. (You can garnish with some crushed nuts or sesame seeds for extra savory taste.)

RICE CAKE

 

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place 1 cup of sweet rice flour, ¼ ts salt, 1 tbs sugar, and ¾ cup of water in a microwavable bowl. Mix it well to make rice cake dough.
  2. Cover it with Saran wrap, and cook it in a microwave oven for 3 minutes.
  3. Mix the hot dough with a wooden spoon for about 20 seconds. Put the Saran wrap back on and cook 1 more minute in the microwave.
  4. Transfer the rice cake dough into a mortar and pound it for about 1 minute (pound 50 times). You’ll make bubbles and then hear the bubbles popping out while you pound, which mean the consistency of the rice cake is just right: chewy and elastic.
    *tip: Put a little cold water on your hands when you want to touch the dough so that it won’t stick to your fingers and will keep you from burning yourself.
  5. Spread ½ cup roasted soybean powder on a cutting board and place your pounded rice cake in the powder. Roll it around a bit to cover it with a light dusting of powder.
  6. Cut into bite size pieces.
  7. Coat each piece of the rice cake with the roasted soy bean powder and transfer to a serving plate.

Sprinkle with  sugar when you serve.
