STEP 2/18
Place the peeled potatoes in a pot and pour water to cover about two-thirds of the potatoes.
STEP 3/18
Then add 1 teaspoon of salt, cover and simmer over medium heat for 25-30 minutes.
STEP 4/18
If you poke it with chopsticks and it goes in well, it's well cooked!
STEP 5/18
Mash the cooked potatoes in a bowl.
You have to mash it as finely as possible to make it later!
STEP 6/18
Then add 3 tablespoons of potato starch and mix them evenly with a spatula.
STEP 7/18
You just have to mix it so that it feels like a normal dough. If the dough is too thick, add a little more potato starch and stir.
STEP 8/18
Now remove the right amount of potato dough and make it round.
STEP 9/18
Then press the middle with your thumb to dig in the groove, and put in the pizza cheese properly.
STEP 10/18
Wrap the cheese with the dough and make it round again
STEP 11/18
Press down with your palm to flatten.
STEP 12/18
Then, I'm done making potato rice cake!
Potato rice cake tastes much better when it's slightly thick than too thin! So please make it thick enough like the picture!
STEP 13/18
Add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, and 2 tablespoon of water and mix well to make the sauce.
STEP 14/18
Now, put enough oil in the frying pan and heat it over medium heat. You can add a lot of oil just like when you make jeon!
STEP 15/18
When the frying pan is heated, add the potato rice cake and bake it for about 5 minutes.
STEP 16/18
Then, turn it over and bake for another 2 minutes.
STEP 17/18
Now add the sauce and 10g of butter, then slightly lift the frying pan and shake it to make sure the sauce goes all the way to the bottom of the potato rice cake.
STEP 18/18
If you cook it upside down until the sauce is boiled down, it's a mochi, Japanese style potato rice cake!
If you add too much potato starch when you make the dough, it will not clump together and will be crushed, so at first, add 3 tablespoons and mix it, and then add a little by little.
