It's summer time in Vancouver, and that means night markets are in full swing! Chris and I were at the "old" night market, AKA
The International Summer Night Market, when I first discovered hoddeok.
It is Korea's version of
Beaver Tails! I would say Hoddeok is BETTER than Beaver Tails! It has the chewy texture of Asian pancakes, like green onion pancake, but filled with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts!
Naturally, I wanted to learn how to make it. I turned to my newest obsession, YouTube, for a recipe. I came across this amazing channel,
Maangchi. She has so many videos of her recipes, I can't wait to try them all. Her video for
Hoddeok made it look so simple, I just had to try it out.
For the full recipe, head over to
Vancity Buzz!
You need to cook and serve these right away. The first time I made Hoddeok, I got too excited, and cooked all 8 at once. Unfortunately, they get hard pretty quick. The filled dough can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days.
This dough is so easy to make! You can fill it with anything. I might try filling it with meat sauce next time.
What's your favourite Korean recipe?
