[Ingredients]

• Dumpling wrappers: 150g
• Cooking oil: 1L
• Granulated sugar: 2 tbsp (20g)
• Ground cinnamon: 1/2 tbsp (3g)

[Instructions]

1. Prepare the oil

• Pour cooking oil into a deep pot and preheat to 170~180 degrees Celsius.
• If the oil temperature is too low, the dumpling wrappers won't fry crisply, so be careful with the temperature control.

2. Fry the dumpling wrappers

• Cut the dumpling wrappers into fourths.
• Fry the dumpling wrapper pieces one by one in the oil until golden brown.
• The frying process is quick, so cook for about 1 minute and be careful not to burn them.

3. Remove excess oil

• Place the golden-brown fried dumpling wrappers on paper towels to remove excess oil.
• Removing enough oil is important to maintain a crispy texture.

4. Make the cinnamon sugar

• In a bowl, add the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon and mix well to make the cinnamon sugar.
• The ratio of cinnamon sugar can be adjusted to your liking.

5. Toss the dumpling wrappers with cinnamon sugar

• Add the fried dumpling wrappers to the cinnamon sugar and toss to coat evenly.
• Making sure the sugar coats all sides will result in even more delicious fried dumpling wrappers.

Completion and Serving

The crispy and sweet fried dumpling wrappers are a great dessert on their own. However, enjoying them with tteokbokki allows you to experience a harmony of spicy and sweet flavors, making it perfect as a street food menu item.

Cooking Tips

1. Frying Temperature: Maintaining 170~180 degrees Celsius ensures the dumpling wrappers fry evenly and crisply. Be careful, as the oil may burn if it's too hot.
2. Variations: In addition to cinnamon sugar, you can add caramel sauce or chocolate sauce for a different taste.
3. Using leftover dumpling wrappers: Using leftover dumpling wrappers reduces food waste and allows you to make a simple snack, making it economical.
4. With Tteokbokki: The spiciness of tteokbokki and the sweetness of the fried dumpling wrappers are the best combination. Recreate this popular street food menu item at home!
