  • Hi everybody!

  • Today, let's make something sweet.

  • Some of you requested

  • "Maangchi, I want some Korean sweet stuff!"

  • I'm not a sweet stuff person.

  • Like, I usually don't eat dessert or snack.

  • But this dessert, this snack is really addictive.

  • It's called chapssal doughnuts.

  • Sweet, chewy, doughnut balls.

  • Filled with sweet red beans. How does it sound?

  • When you go to a Korean bakery

  • you see these cute balls

  • and inside they are filled with sweet red bean paste.

  • We call these chapssal doughnuts.

  • Ever since I was young, these are my favorite doughnuts.

  • Because very chewy

  • It's like a rice cake.

  • Because made with glutinous rice flour.

  • This is one of my guilty pleasures. [laughs]

  • But I'm really going to try to make a healthy version

  • by not using so much sugar.

  • You guys can make it easily at home

  • for your family. And also

  • you don't have to worry about too much sugar.

  • First, I'm going to make sweet red bean filling.

  • And then making dough is very very easy.

  • But making sweet red bean filling takes time

  • so let's start with

  • difficult thing first. I will use one cup of

  • azuki beans

  • I think all are good looking. Let's wash.

  • Put this in a pot.

  • When you boil this red beans

  • you need a really thick pot

  • like a thick bottomed pot

  • because we are going to cook for a long time.

  • If you use a really thin pot

  • easily boil over, easily burnt.

  • This is seven cups of water.

  • Turn on the heat.

  • And then boil for 30 minutes over medium high heat.

  • So "pat" - red beans - are really really really hard.

  • Even though these guys are so small

  • very hard, so that's why we need to make it tender.

  • Ok 30 minutes passed. Let's see!

  • See? Beans are still hard.

  • But you see there is still a lot of water.

  • So I'm going to cover this.

  • Turn off.

  • Let it sit for another 30 minutes

  • Meanwhile inside, with hot water

  • the beans are going to be a little cooked

  • and a little softer.

  • Then I have to cook again. So this is

  • 30 minutes cooking, 30 minutes take a break.

  • I need to set the timer.

  • 30 minutes passed, without

  • any heat. Let's check it out.

  • Water is a little darker, more purple color.

  • It's cooked, but still hard. We need to

  • make it really tender so I'm going to cover this

  • and turn on

  • medium heat. I'm going to cook

  • this for one hour from now.

  • So meanwhile, let's make dough now.

  • This doughnut is very chewy, that's

  • the key point. So we use

  • glutinous rice flour, one cup.

  • And then this is

  • wheat flour.

  • One tablespoon.

  • I will just add baking soda

  • quarter teaspoon baking soda.

  • Salt, also quarter teaspoon.

  • And then sugar.

  • I just bought this organic cane sugar

  • but you can use white or brown sugar too.

  • One tablespoon sugar.

  • I made many many times

  • eventually I found out that butter

  • one tablespoon butter

  • makes it really much much better. But if you don't

  • have butter use any vegetable oil.

  • I melted this butter in a microwave oven

  • for 20 seconds

  • This dough we need hot water

  • really boiling hot water

  • 7 tablespoons, so I'm boiling my water here.

  • It's really hot, hot water.

  • Quarter cup.

  • 3 tablespoons more

  • total 7 tablespoons water

  • and just mix.

  • Keep mixing.

  • So I'm going to use my hand.

  • Knead this dough until very smooth.

  • So that you can make a nice shape and nice balls.

  • If you don't knead enough

  • the ball is going to be easily burst when you fry this.

  • It looks like Play-Do!

  • Very smooth.

  • I kneaded around 2 minutes. 2 minutes is enough.

  • And then we have to wait until beans are done.

  • [Timer rings]

  • Wow! Really soft!

  • This is a potato masher.

  • Really really tender. Soft.

  • I will just add some water. 3 cups of water.

  • Let's strain this because I like to collect

  • only the bean part. I will remove the rough skins.

  • And then...

  • These are bean skins.

  • I want to remove these bean skins.

  • But still inside the bean skins

  • a little bit of beans in there.

  • I will use my hand.

  • I like to get as much as I can.

  • To get all beans.

  • And then soak in this water again.

  • Pretty much we got all beans.

  • And squeeze out.

  • And bean skins. Only skins!

  • Discard these bean skins.

  • This strainer, I will use this.

  • So this is a cotton cloth.

  • It's too big!

  • But it's ok. If you use a cheesecloth

  • 3 or 4 times fold, and then use this way.

  • Well mixed.

  • And pour this through this cotton cloth.

  • Let's see, clear water only.

  • I'm so impatient. So I usually use this method.

  • Only clear water is coming out.

  • And then use you hand.

  • Squeeze.

  • Slowly.

  • All squeeze out excess water.

  • I will just get rid of this water.

  • And then I will show you inside.

  • What we catch! [laughs]

  • Look at that!

  • Really nice, beautiful, soft like mud.

  • Nice, gorgeous.

  • Now, we need to make this sweet.

  • Quarter cup sugar.

  • Quarter cup rice syrup.

  • I will add, a quarter teaspoon salt.

  • One teaspoon vanilla extract.

  • One teaspoon...

  • After adding vanilla extract, it smells like a bakery.

  • Medium high heat.

  • With this rice syrup and sugar

  • sooner or later it's going to be really thinner.

  • I stirred over medium high heat around

  • 6 or 7 minutes.

  • And then one lump.

  • All this together is moving around

  • as one lump, right, see? Like this.

  • And turn off.

  • Gather one lump.

  • Now we have sweet red bean paste and our dough.

  • And make a shape and fry, that's it! So easy!

  • So this amount...

  • I took all my sweet red bean paste from the pot.

  • And this is, look at this amount, one pound.

  • Around half, I'm going to use.

  • So left over half

  • I will just keep in the freezer, freeze.

  • And then later I can use this. Still warm! [laughs]

  • I will take some, around 20 grams is good.

  • Make nice balls like this.

  • 10 balls.

  • Wow!

  • Long time, no see!

  • Wow, so soft.

  • I'm also going to divide this into 10.

  • Because we have 10 red bean balls.

  • It shouldn't be dried, so I like to

  • cover this with plastic wrap.

  • And then, one by one.

  • So, just make this...

  • Like this.

  • Flatten the balls.

  • Ok, here...

  • And then one.

  • Like this.

  • Seal it.

  • Tightly, by pressing this like that.

  • Beautiful ball. Then here...

  • And this small guy...

  • Black sesame seeds.

  • I heated up this oil, it should be like 300 Fahrenheit.

  • And, let's see...

  • Ok 299...

  • and 300. That's it.

  • Just slowly, slowly

  • roll it.

  • So that it cooks evenly.

  • Because this is glutinous rice flour

  • it's really sticky.

  • And if you don't stir this like this

  • it may stick to the bottom.

  • So this way around 5 or 5 minutes

  • slowly, slowly cook.

  • So that all this rice cake should be cooked very nicely.

  • Outside is a little crunchy

  • and inside is chewy rice cake

  • filled with sweet red bean. What else we need more?

  • Really tasty!

  • I fried this six minutes.

  • Over low heat.

  • Oh my, isn't it pretty? Wow!

  • Let it cool down a little bit.

  • And then rest of the balls, let's fry. Just low heat.

  • If this is high heat, easily burst.

  • While this is cooking, sugar, let's coat in sugar.

  • Sugar, coated...

  • And this one...

  • Two tablespoons sugar I used.

  • And this flower,

  • let's put the flower

  • Gorgeous! Look at this!

  • Nice even size, really really beautiful beautiful balls.

  • Even this one looks like a little

  • bigger than a ping pong ball.

  • I like to use this as a ping pong, table tennis. [laughs]

  • I need to really cool down just a little bit.

  • If this is too hot, it won't coat easily.

  • 10 chapssal doughnuts. 10 balls!

  • And one flower. [laughs]

  • Today we made chapssal doughnuts.

  • 10 balls. I'm going to make

  • another 10 balls with this

  • my leftover sweet red bean paste.

  • You want to see inside, what it looks like?

  • Look at that! It looks like this.

  • See? Crunchy outside, and chewy

  • rice cake filled with sweet red bean.

  • Mmm!

  • This sweet red bean is not too sweet.

  • But sweet enough.

  • And a nice nice nice snack or dessert.

  • Everybody will love this.

  • [crunches]

  • Mmm! Every single part is delicious.

  • And I also love this texture.

  • And this flower is really pretty, huh?

  • Your children will love it.

  • I'm always happy whenever I hear that you guys made this at home

  • everybody loves that, that kind of story

  • it makes me really really happy.

  • Enjoy my recipe. See you next time!

  • Bye!
