For the Rice Cakes

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soak the Korean rice cakes in warm water for 20-30 minutes if frozen or refrigerated. Pat them dry with a clean towel after soaking.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add neutral oil, and arrange the rice cakes in a single layer. Pan-fry for about 2 minutes until lightly golden, then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add butter to the skillet and mix in honey, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Stir for about 1 minute until smooth and bubbly.
  4. Return the crispy rice cakes to the skillet and toss in the glaze. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  5. Serve the Sweet Soy Butter Korean Rice Cakes hot for the best texture and flavor.
