Recipe for Air Fried Rice Cake
To air fried rice cakes (aka (에어프라이떡), all you need is one of Korea’s most beloved ingredients – Tteok!
Tteok is the Korean word for rice cakes. And no, they’re not the low-calorie dry rice cakes you might be familiar with as a snack.
Korean rice cakes, Tteok, are made with rice flour and transformed into soft, slightly sticky and incredibly chewy pieces of “rice dough” as I like to call it.They can come in many shapes but the most common shape we use is the cylinder-shaped rice cakes, which you can find in any Korean supermarket near you.
All you have to do is put your rice cakes in air fryer for 10 mins and dip them in any sauce of your choice!

- Korean rice cakes (tteok)
- Oil

How To Make Air Fried Rice Cakes
