QQ Korean Bread 韓國麵包

According to the census, California is one of the states which has the largest population of Asians in the country. Besides Chinese people, there is a large population of Koreans in Los Angeles. Here in Diamond Bar, Korean restaurants and grocery stores are very popular as well. My kids are very fond of Korean cuisine such as Korean BBQ ribs and tofu pots. My girl even studies Korean as a foreign language at high school. The wall of her room is filled with the posters of her favorite band "Infinite".


There is a type of Korean bread that I like which is a bit chewy. Recently I was in Korean town near downtown Los Angeles. I found the bread mix that is used to make that kind of bread. I could not wait to try it. The instruction on the box is all in Korean but I am so glad that my daughter can help me translate it.

It's very easy to make. You don't necessarily need a stand mixer to knead the dough, and there's no long wait for it to rise (no yeast), not even resting time in between.

It's crunchy on the outside and chewy in the inside. What makes this type of Korean bread apart from others is that it has soy sauce powder as one of the ingredients. It gives the bread a hint of savory taste.

From start to finish, it only takes about 45 minutes. It is perfect for a quick breakfast.

Ingredients to make about 14 balls
1 egg
70ml/⅓ cup water

2)  Mix all the ingredients together and knead until it forms a ball.
3)  Divide the balls into 14 balls and place them evenly apart on a baking sheet.

5)  Bake for 30-35 mins until they are slightly brown.

韓國麵包

加州是全國亞裔人口最多的地方之一,除了有很多中國人之外,韓國人也佔很大部份。就像在我所住的社區,就有很多韓國餐廳及超市,我家的年輕人就特別鐘情韓式燒烤、豆腐煲等,我的女兒在中學更選修韓語,房內也掛滿韓國歌星的海報,韓風吹得很勁呀! 而我就喜歡他們的一款很有口感的麵包,耐何不知道食譜。

直至最近到韓國城遊覽,在一間韓國超市內給我找到用來做這種麵包的預伴粉,我便急不及待地買來試一試。盒上全是韓語,幸好我的女兒能給我翻譯!

這種麵包非常特別,除了外脆內軟,更因成份內有醬油粉之原故,使它帶一點兒咸味。做這個麵包非常簡易,不須要用機攪打,又不要等它發酵或鬆弛,由開始到有得食只須約四十五分鐘左右,很適合做早餐啊!

此份量可做十四個小包

一隻蛋

三分之一杯水

一包韓國麵包粉,250g

1)  預熱焗爐至350°F。

2)  將所有材料搓勻,再分成十四份。

3)  滚圓成球狀,放上焗盤。

4)  向麵團平均地噴水,放入焗爐焗約30-35分鐘至微金黄色便成。
