Hotteok (Korean Sweet Pancakes)

 

My kiddos LOVE pancakes. They can eat pancakes for breakfast, lunch, snack, or dinner, and they are happy campers! Here are all the pancakes that I have made for the past many years.😋😋😋

This round, I try my hands on making Hotteok (sweet Korean pancakes with sugar and nuts filling). Yes, I'm still riding the Korean wave! Hehe!

Beksul Hotteok Mix (Sweet Korean Pancake Mix)

I bought this Beksul Hotteok Mix from Shin Korea on Shopee. Find out what else I bought from Shin Korea here. Hehe.

 

What's inside the Beksul Hotteok Mix box?

 

1 bag of Sweet Korean Pancake Mix (296g)

1 bag of dried jam mix (100g)

1 packet of dry yeast (4g)

 

Instructions:

(Make 8 pancakes)

 

1. Dissolve dry yeast in 180-200 ml lukewarm water.

 

2. After the dry yeast dissolves, add in pancake flour and mix well until a ball of sticky dough is formed.

 

 

3. Rub cooking oil on your hands to avoid the dough sticking to your hands. Divide the dough into 8 balls. Beware: The dough is really sticky!

 

4. Flatten a dough ball. Then, add a tablespoon of dried jam mix to the middle of the flattened dough. Seal the dough ball. Note: I did this like sealing a char siew pao.

 

5. Heat up a little bit of cooking oil in a frying pan. Place the pancake dough (sealed part down) to "lock" the pancake.

 

6. Pan-fry the dough until you see that the bottom starts to turn light brown. Then, turn the dough around and flatten it. Pan-fry until golden brown.

Okay, I obviously put too little jam mix in the middle of the pancakes. They are supposed to have a layer of visible gooey jammy filling. 😂😅

 

I shall try making Hotteok again as my eldest kiddo gives me a thousand thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

 By the way, I also make my go-to normal fluffy pancakes for my youngest kiddo.

Also a thousand thumbs up! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Introducing JoyFood Ang Ku Kueh (Not Your Ordinary AKK)

Not your ordinary Ang Ku Kueh

 

I love Ang Ku Kueh. Unfortunately, my delicate gastrointestinal tract couldn't tolerate glutinous rice well. If I'm not mistaken, the sticky ang ku kueh skin is made of glutinous rice flour. I avoid glutinous rice products as much as I can because they upset my stomach and I will stay bloated for many hours.

So, when my friend, Yibin, registered Dietitian and Founder of Beyond Food introduced her version of Ang Ku Kueh to me, I was beyond delighted!

 

What is JoyFood AKK (Ang Ku Kueh)?

JoyFood AKK (Ang Ku Kueh) is made with all-natural ingredients and high protein ingredients. They come in 3 different flavors, i.e., mung bean, black sesame, and peanut.

 

Fun fact: JoyFood AKK looks and tastes like ordinary ang ku kueh, but without the sticky texture of glutinous rice flour.

 

 

Yibin created and developed her JoyFood AKK according to the international guidelines of IDDSI level 4 (pureed diet). IDDSI stands for International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative.

 

JoyFood AKK is suitable specifically for individuals with chewing and/or swallowing difficulties.

 

Not only so, they are also a great option for health-conscious individuals who are looking for high-protein snacks.

These AKKs are freshly prepared using cook-freeze method to retain nutrients and provide convenience.

 

They are pretty easy to prepare. Just take individual AKKs out from their frozen packaging. Do not need to defrost (yay!). Steam for 8-10 minutes over medium heat. Do not over-steam (yep). Serve immediately.

 

Why choose JoyFood AKK?

I choose JoyFood AKK over ordinary AKK because of their high protein content. Another reason is there's no glutinous rice flour (easier for digestion) and they are so easy to swallow because they are non-sticky!

 

I'm having them for breakfast. I bought all 3 flavors so I get to decide which 2 flavors I want for breakfast. They are also a good option for snacks in between main meals.

Who can benefit from JoyFood AKK?

Those who can benefit from JoyFood AKK are senior citizens or people with swallowing and/or chewing issues, people who are not eating well, people who are losing weight, people who wants to have high protein snacks, and vegans.

 

I personally think they are great for people with digestive issue and for children too!

Coconut Flour Pancakes

 

I bought a bag of coconut flour and I definitely have to make coconut flour pancakes 🥞 just because I can. Hahaha! Thanks to Google, I found this easy recipe for coconut flour pancakes that are golden in color and perfectly fluffy.

Ingredients:

☑️ 1/4 cup coconut flour
☑️ 1 teaspoon baking powder
☑️ 2 eggs
☑️ 1/4 cup milk (preferably plant-based milk) + 1/2-1 tablespoon more if needed
☑️ 1 tablespoon honey
☑️ 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
☑️ Cooking spray or butter for greasing the frying pan

 

The original instruction also mentions about adding your favorite mix-ins and toppings. So I have added blueberries to some of the pancakes.

How to:

 

1. Mix together coconut flour and baking powder in a medium bowl.

 

2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until well blended. Add milk, honey, and vanilla extract.

 

3. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until lumps disappear. Let sit for 2-3 minutes so that the coconut flour absorbs some of the liquid. If the batter seems too thick you can add a bit more milk.

 

4. Heat a medium pan over medium heat and grease with cooking spray or butter. Using a soup ladle, spoon about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan. Once bubbly on top, flip the pancake gently using a flat cooking spatula. This takes about a minute or two. Cook other side for another minutes or less, or until that side is golden brown.

 

5. Serve with toppings of choice. I serve with a dollop of butter, a drizzle of honey, and pan-fried bacon strips on the side.

Mini Blueberry Cheesecake (No-Bake) (recipe adapted from OhMyGrocer)

Yay! I made these no-bake mini blueberry cheesecakes. Ingredients were bought from OhMyGrocer, a food and recipe grocer who sends fresh ingredients with amazing recipes designed by established chefs. Sounds cool, so I gave it a try.

The ingredients, packed individually, were delivered to my doorstep in a cooler box.

There was a recipe card as well. The recipe mentioned 6-8 servings but didn't specify the size of the cake tin. So, I used a 12-hole mini cake tin with removable bases.

Ingredients:

9 pieces cream crackers
65g butter
250g cream cheese
54g sugar
1/2 lemon
170g whipping cream
8g gelatin powder
80g blueberry filling

How to:
(Slightly adapted from OhMyGrocer's recipe card)

1. Melt butter and set aside. Put cream crackers into a plastic bag and crush to fine crumbs with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs into a mixing bowl and pour in the melted butter. Combine the mixture until moist crumbs form.

2. Spoon the moist crumbs into the 12-hole cake tin with removable bases. Press down firmly with your fingers to cover each base. Chill in fridge for 45 minutes.

3. Whisk chilled whipping cream until soft peak. Set aside.

4. Sprinkle and soak gelatin powder evenly in a bowl of 24ml water to allow blooming. Sit the bowl in a pan of boiling water, stir until gelatin dissolves and becomes transparent. Set aside, keep warm.

5. In another mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy with a mixer. Add lemon zest and juice, beat until combined.

6. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture and mix well. Scoop about 3 spoons of cream mixture into the warm gelatin, stir evenly, and return it back into the bowl of cheese mixture. Stir and blend well.

7. Pour in blueberry filling into cheese mixture. Swirl gently with a rubber spatula.

8. Scoop cheese and blueberries mixture into the cooled crackers base. Chill the mini cheesecakes for 4-6 hours before serving.

9. Serve with fresh blueberries and drizzle with honey.
