Hey there! I’m Carla, the chef behind PeakFitRecipes.com, and I’ve always loved discovering lighter ways to enjoy comfort foods. For years, I avoided making hotteok because traditional frying used too much oil. When I finally tested an air fryer hotteok hack, I realized I could enjoy crispy, chewy, caramel-filled pancakes without the guilt. The air fryer circulates hot air around the dough, sealing in the sugary filling while creating a crunchy exterior. The first batch reminded me of my favorite street-vendor hotteok from a trip to Seoul—but even better, because they were lighter and healthier. (
