Hotteok is a Korean pancake typically filled with gooey brown sugar syrup and nuts. It has a rather crispy exterior and nice chewy texture. Best served warm to get that syrupy melt in the mouth sensation.
I added Matcha to create a green tea variation but you can certainly opt it out for the original version.

This is my favorite pancake and I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.

2

In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast and sugar into warm water, then briefly stir with spatula or wooden spoon to combine.
3

Add flour, matcha, salt and vegetable oil. Mix well then knead for about 2 minutes in the bowl. Cover and let rest for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4

To make the filling, simply combine brown sugar and chopped nuts. Set aside.
5

After dough has doubled in size, punch out any air from the dough and transfer to a generously-floured surface. This dough is easy to work with as long as we put enough flour whenever it gets sticky.
6

Divide dough into 12 pieces. Flatten each piece into a round disk, then put 1 tbsp of the sugar mixture in the middle of the disk. Gather the edges together and pinch to seal tight.
7

Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Place dough with the sealed side down onto pan. Flatten it by pressing down with a spatula or any flat tool.
8

Flip over after the bottom is cooked to golden brown. Flatten again and cook until it browns. Remove from pan. Best served while sugar syrup is still warm inside.
