Korean Pancakes

I will introduce Korean-style pancakes. Korean pancakes are called Hotteok. Maybe some of you have heard or eaten them before. I have only eaten them once. They were so good. The texture was springy and crunchy. I want to try them again.

The left photo is Hotteok. It is mainly sold at snack food stalls in winter. It is made by kneading glutinous rice or flour. Sometimes you can also add cinnamon.  For normal pancakes, the method of making them is different. It is then grilled on an oiled iron plate. It uses a lot of oil when cooking, I thought it was more like frying than baking. There are many flavors. Basically, add brown sugar and cinnamon. For variation, you can add green tea, honey, adzuki beans, sesame seeds, nuts, or legumes. I ate these at Koreatown in Shin-Okubo. I recommend going there if you want to try them.
