Youngyang Chaltteok

This rice cake, youngyang chaltteok, is one of the easiest rice cakes you can make at home! No kneading, no shaping, no pounding, and no special tool other than a steamer is required!

Prepare the beans by soaking them in warm water. Rinse the jujubes and cut each one around the seed into pieces. Rinse the optional dried kabocha and rehydrate by adding water until softened. Prepare the nuts.

1

In a large bowl, combine the rice flour, sugar, and the optional almond meal. Mix well until everything is well incorporated. Add water and rub the powder between your palms, breaking the big clumps, to evenly distribute the moisture.

2

Add all the other ingredients and gently toss to combine everything.

3

Fill a steamer (or a pot) with water. Prepare the steamer insert with a wet linen/cotton cloth. Turn the heat on. When it starts to steam, add the mixture to the steamer. Fully cover the top with another cloth before putting the lid on.

4

Steam, and once ready, remove the steamer insert from the heat.

5

When it’s cool enough to handle, flip it over onto a cutting board. Remove the cloth.

6

Shape the rice cake to a rectangle if desired. Wet your hands before touching the rice cake. Cut into serving size pieces.

7

Enjoy!
