Instructions
- Warm a large bowl by rinsing it with warm water. Add ⅓ cup of warm water to the bowl. Stir in the sugar, oil and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until the yeast has bubbled up.
- Sift the flour, glutinous rice powder, and salt together. Add the milk, pumpkin and flour mix to the yeast water. Knead until everything is well incorporated. The dough will be a little sticky.
- Cover with plastic wrap. Place it in a warm place and let it rise until doubled, about an hour.
- Prepare the filling by chopping the nuts and mixing all the filling ingredients well.
- Bring the dough down by reshaping into a round. Let it sit for another 20 - 30 minutes until doubled again.
- Start heating a pan with a couple of tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Lightly oil your hands. Tear a big enough piece to make an about 2 to 2-1/2-inch ball. Flatten into a thick disk, creating a shallow well in the middle. Add a tablespoon of the filling and lightly press it down with the spoon.
- Carefully gather the edges together, pinching to seal. (This might take some practice.)
- Put the sealed side down on the pan, flattening a little by pressing it down with an oiled hand or spatula. Cook for a minute, and then flip over. Press down for a few seconds to flatten. Cook until both sides are golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
Notes
- Hotteok freezes well. You can reheat them in a toaster or toaster oven and enjoy delicious hotteok any time.
