Korean-Style Rice Cake Skewers
Fans of Korean food will tell you there’s something addictive about street food made with garaetteok, or Korean rice cakes. The complexity of the sweet-spicy sauce with peanuts, sesame, and garlic makes it hard to believe that this Korean rice cake skewers recipe is so simple to make.
Why We Love It
The flavor profile of the spicy sauce mix is vibrant yet comforting, with heat from the Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Chili Sauce and sweetness from the ketchup, honey, and brown sugar. You also get the perfect combination of sesame oil, minced garlic, and crushed peanuts with every bite. Added to the chewy texture of the Korean rice cake skewers, or garaetteok, you get a one-of-a-kind treat. Plus, with premade garaetteok, you can cook this up in 20 minutes or less.
