Recipe - Sae Me Duk (Korean Steamed Buckwheat Cake)

Stephen Ceideburg
4 cup Water
2 One half cup White cornmeal

Bring 3 cups of the water to a boil in a large pot.

Combine 1 One half cups of the cornmeal with the remaining 1 cup water. Reduce
heat to mediumlow and add the cornmeal mixture to the boiling water,
stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5 minutes, slowly
adding the remaining cup of cornmeal.

When the mixture is very thick and starts to pull away from the sides of
the pan, transfer to a serving bowl or plate. Use a wooden paddle or spoon
to compress the mixture into a round shape (you may use wet hands to aid in
the procedure).

Serves 6.
