Ingredients For injeolmi (korean sweet rice cake)

  • 1 c
    sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour)
  • 1/4 tsp
    salt
  • 1 Tbsp
    sugar
  • 1/2 c
    roasted soybean powder
  • 3/4 c
    water
  • SSUK INJEOLMI
  • 1 Tbsp
    mugwort powder for ssuk injeolmi (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp
    water

How To Make injeolmi (korean sweet rice cake)

  • 1
    Place sweet rice flour, salt, sugar and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Mix it well to make rice cake dough.
  • 2
    Cover it with Saran wrap, and cook it in a microwave oven for 3 minutes.
  • 3
    Mix the hot dough with a wooden spoon for about 20 seconds. Put the Saran wrap back on and cook 1 more minute in the microwave. 4. Transfer the rice cake dough into a mortar and pound it for about 1 minute (pound 50 times). You’ll make bubbles and then hear the bubbles popping out while you pound, which mean the consistency of the rice cake is just right: chewy and elastic. * TIP: Put a little cold water on your hands when you touch the dough so that it won’t stick to your fingers and will keep you from burning yourself.
  • 4
    Spread roasted soybean powder on a cutting board and place your pounded rice cake in the powder. Roll it around a bit to cover it with a light dusting of powder.
  • 5
    Cut into bite size pieces. Coat each piece of the rice cake with the roasted soy bean powder. Transfer to a serving plate.
  • 6
    Sprinkle with sugar when you serve. (if desired)
  • 7
    SSUK INJEOLMI -- Same directions as above, plus, add 1 Tablespoon ssukgaru (mugwort powder) and 1 Tablespoon water to the dough when you mix it. Do NOT be alarmed because MUGWORT will tint imjeolmi a green color.
