Step 1
Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning. If using fresh rice cakes, separate them; if using frozen, thaw and pat dry.
Step 2
Thread 3-4 rice cakes onto each skewer, pushing them snugly together but not too tight.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp gochujang, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth.
Step 4
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with 1 tbsp vegetable oil.
Step 5
Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the rice cakes are golden and lightly charred in spots.
Step 6
Brush the glaze generously over all sides of the skewers and grill for another 1-2 minutes, until the glaze is sticky and caramelized.
Step 7
Sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds and serve hot.
