The Method

1
In a small hot pot (or saucepan), combine water (or milk), sweet red bean paste, brown sugar (if using), and cinnamon powder (if using).
2
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
3
Gently add the chapssaltteok (rice cakes) to the hot pot.
4
Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice cakes are soft and chewy, and the red bean paste has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
5
If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little more water or milk to reach your desired consistency.
6
Once the rice cakes are cooked, turn off the heat.
7
Ladle the chapssaltteok and red bean paste mixture into serving bowls.
8
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, sliced almonds, and chopped dates (optional).
9
Serve warm and enjoy!

Chef's Tips

Adjust the sweetness and thickness of the red bean paste to your liking by adding more sugar or water.

You can add other toppings such as chopped nuts, fruits, or a dollop of whipped cream.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of gochugaru (Korean chili powder) to the hot pot.

If you don't have a hot pot, a small saucepan works perfectly fine.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
