Crispy and sweet Air Fryer Hotteok Hack — a healthier twist on the classic Korean pancake made with no deep frying.
1 pack hotteok mix
180ml lukewarm water
1 small yeast packet (comes with mix)
Sugar filling from hotteok mix
Chopped peanuts or walnuts (optional)
Cooking oil (just a little for hands and board)
1. Mix yeast with lukewarm water and dissolve completely.
2. Add hotteok mix to the water and knead for 5 minutes until smooth.
3. Divide dough into small balls.
4. Flatten dough slightly, place 1 tbsp of sugar filling inside, and seal into a round shape.
5. Gently press dough on a floured board so filling doesn’t spill out.
6. Line air fryer with parchment paper or foil.
7. Preheat air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
8. Cook one hotteok at a time for 13–15 minutes until golden and crispy.
9. For extra crunch, flip and air fry 5 more minutes.
10. Serve hot and enjoy gooey sweet filling inside!
Handle dough with a little oil on your hands to prevent sticking.
Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model.
Hot filling can burn, so let hotteok cool slightly before eating.
For a twist, try fillings like chocolate, cinnamon, or even savory cheese.
