Yaksik (Sweetened Rice with Dried Fruits & Nuts: 약식)

[@AsheTheRedScout]

Do I still have to soak the rice if I have a rice cooker?

[@Maangchi]

You can make this in a pressure cooker not with a normal rice cooker. 1. Put 2 cups of washed and drained rice in a pressure cooker. No need to soak it. 2. Add the caramel sauce, seasoning sauce, honey, jujubes, raisins, pine nuts, chestnuts, and the dried cranberries (if used). 3. Add 1 cup of water and set the pressure cooker to make rice. Check out the description box in any video and follow the link for the written recipe. Every video has a written recipe where I provide more detailed information such as ingredients, step by step directions, stories behind, photos, and tips.

@@Maangchi thanks so much for the reply! I can’t wait to try this recipe :)

Hi everybody! I just finished uploading English and Korean caption! Enjoy the recipe plus my caption! : ) 영어, 한국어 자막 올렸어요. 맛있는 약식 만들어드세요!

Maangchi When is your book going to be released, we preordered it some time ago? We love your videos up here in Alaska =) Regards Dan

[@Maangchi]

Angelique Amour It's served as a dessert or snack. You can serve it with tea. www.maangchi.com/recipe/yaksik

Instead of using a cotton cloth can I use cheesecloth

[@nyzellovret5836]

We have quite similar dish called Wajik Durian. It's much more stickier and mixed with durian. Though we don't add nuts to it. This recipe looks lighter and seems to suit my tastebud. Gonna try it later ;)

[@lisaz7859]

Maangchi Amazing desert! Have tried 3 times which are all lovely and delicious. Thank you Maangchi.

[@bohn98]

I bought 3 of your books. One for myself, one for my patient ( he had been exposed to korean food during the vietnam war working with korean soldiers. His American wife makes kimchi for him. His father was a Korean war vet too), & a student whose mom is Korean but she lives many states away from mom. Your cook book means so much more for us. Oh my coworker is bringing a copy to Germany next week since her son (who lived in korea for 3 years) lives in Germany now with a korean girlfriend. they make Korean food there all the time too. My coworker was so excited to see how nice the book was. Of course this was my recommendation :) Thanks. keep up the great work!

[@Maangchi]

Thank you for sharing your touching story! It seems like you are surrounded by some people who are related to Korea. : ) Happy cooking!

[@helanaszakall278]

Finding you is like finding an oasis in a desert! - I'm a Brazilian Korean whose parents were too busy to teach us about preparing Korean food. You are a wonderful teacher & now I can carry on the tradition with my family - your videos R filled with love & lovely humour:)

For anybody wondering what jujube is, it's also known as the red, Korean, Chinese, or Indian date. She uses dried ones here, so other dates may work as well, but it won't be the truly authentic dish.

[@lynnsellshowa8097]

Oooo nice

[@seldonjeung7531]

I remember my Grandmother & my Dad making this when I was little. I always thought, I'll never learn to make this. Finally learned how to make it!! And it is the same taste as I remembered!! So good! My wife is "hooked"!!!!! I'm Canadian-Korean and she is Canadian. Thank you so much for your recipes!! ( brings more Korean food to the table)!!! We have tried other of my favorites and sooooooo good! 고맙습니다!!

[@Scott-J]

I bet if I bake it the second time instead of steaming, this would make a great energy rice cake for bicycle training. Baking would maybe make it stick together better. Tasty and nutritious with enough energy to pedal for another hour. Something to look forward to on a long ride. Thanks Maangchi!

[@ydujnayiyom]

Scott J glutinous rice holds its shape pretty well once its completely cooled, so it'd make a nice chewy snack even if you don't bake it :)

[@buhedwen]

Scott J I thought of "Korean granola bars" as I watched the recipe :)

[@isntrik8889]

expialidocious I was thinking of that too

[@angelac.3107]

I wouldn't recommend baking it...yaksik is softer. The only semblance that it bears to granola bars is that they're in bars.

[@buhedwen]

Angela C. There is much more resemblance than that - a whole grain (rice vs oats) packed with fruit and nuts + sugar and spice ^^

I just made this tonight for dessert after having jajang myeon for dinner. only tip I have is if you only want your yaksik to be slightly salty only use 1 tbsp soy sauce. that's how much I used and it came out perfect. another thing: I used cranberries, raisins and walnuts and it came out delicious! Even my boyfriend who is kinda super traditional american boy, tried jajangmyeon and yaksik. he loved both. thanks maangchi

[@gardeningincalifornia8477]

I bought a jujube tree 2 years ago, This Sept I as they started to dry and still mostly green, I used them as apples in an apple pie since they have a mild apple flavor. It turned out good, but next time I will have to add more flavoring as jujubes are not quite as strong tasting as apples. The rest are dried and stored in a paper bag in my garage. So I'm ready to try this recipe. Oh man you would not believe the amount of jujubes that came off the tree this year, this tree grows about 5 ft a year.
