INGREDIENTS


PUTO:

  • 1 egg white

  • ½ cup water

  • ½ cup coconut milk

  • 1 cup rice flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 112 g (1/2 c) white sugar

  • 1 c Cheese curds


TTEOKBOKKI SAUCE (MIX THESE IN A BOWL)

  • 3 Tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp raw sugar

  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tsp minced garlic

  • 1 tsp gochugaru (Korean chili flakes)


GARNISH

  • 1 tsp roasted sesame seeds

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • 1 stalk green onion, finely chopped


OTHERS:

  • 2 cups korean soup stocks or dashi

  • 1 cup Fish balls and kikiam

  • 60g / 2 ounces onion, thinly sliced

  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, halved


INSTRUCTIONS


PUTO:

  • Preheat your steamer over medium heat on the stove.

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites, water, and coconut milk until fully incorporated.

  • Sift the rice flour and baking powder over the wet ingredients. Use the whisk to mix all the ingredients together.

  • Pour the sugar into the batter and mix to combine.

  • Scoop the puto mixture into mini muffin molds to about ¾ of the way up. Place the molds into the steamer and cover with a lid.

  • Steam for 8 minutes and remove the lid to see if the puto is fluffy and firm.

  • Remove the puto from the steamer and let sit in the molds for 30 seconds to cool before removing them from the molds.


TTEOKBOKKI:

  • Fry the kikiam and fish ball in hot cooking oil until they achieve a golden, crispy perfection.

  • Boil the soup stock in a shallow pot over medium high heat and dissolve the tteokbokki sauce by stirring it with a spatula. Once the seasoned stock is boiling, add the cooked kikiam, fish balls and onion. Then, to thicken the sauce and to deepen the flavor, simmer it over low heat for a further 2 to 4 mins.

  • Add the puto, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and green onion then quickly stir. Finally add the hard boiled egg. Serve warm.
