Hotteok is a popular Korean street food, often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. It consists of a sweet, chewy dough filled with a mixture of brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts. The dough is typically made from wheat flour, water, and yeast, allowing it to rise and become fluffy when cooked. To prepare hotteok, the filled dough is pan-fried until golden brown, creating a crispy exterior while the inside remains soft and gooey. This delightful treat is especially popular during the winter months and is often sold at street stalls and markets throughout South Korea.
