Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Soak the cylindrical Korean rice cakes in warm water for 20–30 minutes. Remove from water and pat dry.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add neutral oil. Once hot, place rice cakes in a single layer and fry for 2 minutes until golden, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add butter, honey, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Stir gently as butter melts until mixture bubbles and becomes a silky glaze.
  4. Return the crispy rice cakes to the skillet, coat evenly with the glaze, and toss gently for 1–2 minutes. Serve hot.
