Bang! When you are walking down the street, you hear something explode!

 

What happened back there? Bang! Another one!

 

Is this a threat?  No! it’s a Korean snack. PpangTteugi 뻥튀기 !

 

These delicious treats, often crafted from grains like rice or corn, undergo a unique cooking process that results in a crispy and porous texture.

 

This indeed tastes so natural and mildly sweet.

Ppangtteugi is made by sealing grains in a fryer and applying heat and pressure.

 

As the grains transform into a sponge-like consistency, starch converts into dextrin.

 

The sealed environment of the fryer traps moisture, leading to an internal pressure buildup.

 

Which creates the crunchiness of Ppanteuggi.

 

Upon opening, the pressure is swiftly released, causing the popping sound and emitting a cloud of steam.

Recently, there's been a cool resurgence of old-school cooking methods!

 

After the Korean War, for a good while, the popular way to make snacks involved using ppangtteugi to fry grains like rice and barley.

 

Nowadays, you'll find a bunch of snacks made using the ppangtteugi process.

 

Back in the day, when they opened those pressure chambers, the machines used to make a seriously loud noise, enough to startle anyone nearby.

 

That's why it became a cute tradition for the ppangtteugi maker to shout "Bang is coming!" just before popping open the machine.

 

 

 

While these snacks are commonly enjoyed, it's essential to be mindful of their calorie content.

 

For instance, the macaroni-shaped ppangtteugi often served in Korean pubs packs a calorie punch, surpassing that of an equivalent amount of rice.

 

The sheer volume, coupled with its addictive taste, can make it easy to snack on more than intended.

 

So, it's wise to savor these treats in moderation!
