Hotteok is a beloved Korean street food. A pancake fried on a skillet, it has a texture reminiscent of a donut, with a chewy bite and a sweet, gooey melted brown sugar center.

This popular snack was introduced to Korea by Chinese merchants in the mid-19th century and quickly won over the locals.

Traditionally, hotteok is filled with a delightful blend of cinnamon, sugar, and chopped peanuts or seeds, but modern variations have emerged, featuring ingredients such as stir-fried vegetables, red bean paste, and even Nutella. When indulging in hotteok, be cautious of the hot, sticky filling, as it can be scalding hot and easily drip.

On a chilly winter‘s day, there’s nothing quite like warming up with a freshly made hotteok, so give it a try!
