Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Soak the Korean rice cakes in warm water for 20–30 minutes if frozen, or 10 minutes if fresh. Drain and pat dry.
Heat about 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add dried rice cakes in a single layer and fry for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Lower heat to medium, add butter, honey, brown sugar, and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir for about 1 minute until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
Return the fried rice cakes to the skillet and toss gently in the sauce for 1–2 minutes until coated.
Plate immediately, optionally sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, and enjoy warm.
