Mix well and set the bowl aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour, covered with a tea towel. The dough should double in size. 3 Once the dough has proofed, punch it down a few times. Cover again and set aside for a further 20 minutes. 4 Meanwhile prepare the fi lling. Finely chop the pecans and mix together with the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside until ready to use. 5 Once the dough is ready, lightly oil your hands and separate the dough into 6 equal-sized pieces. Place a ball in your hand and fl atten it enough so that it can hold 1 tablespoon of the fi lling. Once the fi lling is in the centre of the dough, seal the dough by gathering the corners. Repeat this for the remaining pieces. 6 Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large cast-iron or non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. 7 Place a hotteok in the pan and cook it over a medium heat until the bottom side is lightly golden brown, approx. 30 seconds.

Everything they were doing was lop-sided. In today’s fast-paced world it’s easy to get that way. With a big family, demanding jobs and an enthusiastic lust for life it wasn’t diffi cult to over-do it and get out of whack. ‘Ugly’ had crept in and was starting to affect their sleep, their performance at work and was limiting their ability to manage stress and moods. So, they decided to change. However, that change wasn’t extreme. They simply became more aware of what makes a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Better choices became habitual and so too did better nutrition. The lightbulb moment was when they recognised that the wellness brands they were turning to, were uninspiring, a bit worthy and didn’t refl ect the values and practices they desired in a brand. And that’s what gave birth to No Ugly – a brand with a higher purpose, a spunky attitude and products that are not only delicious, but have a clear functional benefi t – to help individuals feel their best in no time. No Ugly was created in New Zealand, by a small, determined and innovative team whose mission is to eradicate ‘ugly’, which is entrenched in the ingredients we use, the products we produce and in our behaviours. They are proud to be part of the global wellness movement, making a difference to people’s wellness and the planet from the cleanest, greenest country at the bottom of the world. Using natural ingredients, the team has created a truly functional range of beverages with proven health claims to get you back on track. And best of all, the entire line is low sugar but tastes amazing. Stay gorgeous with Skin, which has 10g of French marine fi sh collagen protein, 50mg of fl avonoids and 40mg of vitamin C per 250ml serving.
