   Step 7: Fry the one side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. (If the bottom of the dough turns brown too quickly, your oil is too hot. Adjust the heat accordingly.) Carefully turn the hotteok to the other side and fry for another 2 minutes or so. Remove the hotteok from the oil and drain the extra oil over a cookie rack.
