Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Boil rice cakes in water for 2–3 minutes until softened and pliable, then drain and pat dry.
- 2
Whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, water, and garlic until the sauce is smooth.
- 3
Thread 4–5 rice cakes onto each soaked skewer and brush all sides generously with half the sauce.
- 4
Place skewers in the air fryer at 390°F and cook for 10–12 minutes, turning and brushing with remaining sauce every 4 minutes, until blistered and caramelized.
- 5
Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and scallions and serve hot.
Tip: Brush the sauce on in thin layers rather than all at once — this builds up a lacquered, caramelized coating that is the hallmark of great street-style tteok-kkochi.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 15 minutes vs ~24 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🌡️Concentrated heat circulation produces even browning and a crispier crust than a full-size oven.
- 🔥Rapid air circulation delivers oven-quality results in a fraction of the time.
