Rice syrup (Ssalyeot) is used in Korean cuisine as a sweetener and to add shine to the dish, much like mulyeot. In fact, most Koreans simply call it “mulyeot” when they really mean ssalyeot.

The main difference between the two is that ssalyeot is a nice brown color, unlike mulyeot, which is clear.

maangchi, if i kudnt get the rice syrup, will it destroy the good taste or is there any other way to replace dat rice syrup? i attend to try the crispy and crunchy fried chicken
To make crispy and crunchy fried chicken you can replace the rice syrup with sugar or honey. Good luck!

I would use rice syrup. Check out a Korean grocery store in your area, please. This is a list of Korean grocery stores in Malaysia. https://www.maangchi.com/shopping/malaysia
In the bottom picture there’s something called Rice Oligosaccharide. I got this by accident. Can I use it in this recipe? What is it, do you know?
Also, I bought regular rice flour instead of sweet rice flour (that’s what I get for not bringing the recipe with me to the store)… Will that work?
Thx so much for this recipe… It looks delicious!
What is a substitute for rice syrup? I can’t find it anywhere and I can’t seem to google a substitute…
You can use any type of syrup. Haw about Karo or corn syrup?
