Time 40m

Yield About 20 4-inch pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups dried mung beans
1/4 cup sweet rice
2/3 cup kimchi liquid (from a large jar of kimchi; if necessary, squeeze kimchi lightly to extract some of its liquid)
1 teaspoon fish sauce, optional
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Pinch of salt
1 cup kimchi
1/2 cup vegetable oil, or as needed
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons Korean ground red pepper
6 scallions, trimmed

Steps:

  • The child can combine the mung beans and rice in a fine-meshed colander. Rinse well with cold water, then drain. Transfer to a bowl and add 8 cups of lukewarm water. Cover the bowl and soak at room temperature for at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours, changing the water once or twice.
  • Make the dipping sauce. The child can combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar and ground red pepper in a small bowl and mix until blended. The adult can mince the scallions and add to the sauce. Set aside at room temperature.
  • Make the pancakes. The child can combine the kimchi liquid, fish sauce (if using), sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, and 1/2 cup water in a small mixing bowl and pour into a food processor. The adult can drain the beans and rice and add to the food processor. Process until the batter is coarse and chunky, not perfectly smooth. Do not overmix. Transfer to a large bowl, finely chop the kimchi and stir into the batter.
  • Fry the pancakes. The child can line a plate with paper towels and set aside. The adult can place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil. Heat until the oil shimmers. Using a 1/4 cup measure, ladle in the pancake batter, flattening each pancake to 1/3-inch thickness. Cook until crisp and browned on one side, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until browned on the other side, another 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate, then to a warmed serving platter and serve with the dipping sauce.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 cup mung bean flour mix
1/4 tsp fine salt
1 cup water
1 cup dried peeled and split mung beans
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup glutinous rice flour
1 Tbsp potato starch
1/2 tsp fine salt
150 g minced pork ((5.3 ounces))
100 g mung bean sprouts ((3.5 ounces), rinsed and drained)
50 g green onion ((1.8 ounces), (white part), thinly sliced)
150 g ripe kimchi ((5.3 ounces), rinsed and squeezed, thinly sliced)
3 Tbsp cooking oil ((more if required))
1 Tbsp soy sauce ((I used regular kikoman soy sauce))
1/2 Tbsp rice wine ((mirim))
1/4 tsp minced garlic
A few sprinkles ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Soak mung beans in a large bowl for 4 hours. Drain the water well.
  • Transfer the mung bean into a blender or food processor and add the water (3/4 cup). Grind until it turns smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour out the pureed mung beans onto a mixing bowl, then add the glutinous rice flour, potato starch and fine salt.
  • Prepare a medium-sized bowl and add the pancake batter ingredients. Whisk it well. (If you are using dried mung beans and followed the steps above, you can skip this part.) Set aside for 30 - 40 minutes. (Only do this if you used a mung bean flour mix. This is just following the instructions on the package.)
  • Prepare a small bowl and add minced pork and marinade. Mix them well. Set aside for 30 minutes.
  • Once 30-40 minutes have passed, add the marinated pork, mung bean sprouts, green onions, and kimchi to the mung bean pancake batter. Mix well.
  • Preheat the pan on medium-high heat until the bottom of the pan is well heated. Add the cooking oil and ensure the oil is spread all the way around the pan. (Watch out for the oil splash.) Reduce the heat to medium. Scoop out the pancake mixture with a ladle and spread it evenly and thinly around the pan.Once the bottom of the pancake is set, move the pancake around in a circular motion from time to time so the pancake doesn't stick to the pan.Flip the pancake over when you see the bottom of the pancake is partially cooked. (This makes it easy to turn the pancake. It takes around 2 to 3 minutes depending on the thickness of the pancake).
  • Replenish a bit of cooking oil around the edges of the pancake, if necessary. Press down the pancake with a spatula a couple of times to sizzle and make it crispy. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the heat off and transfer it onto a plate or a cutting board.
  • Repeat steps 4 to 5 for the remaining batter. Serve with some kimchi and pickled onions.

Tips:

  • Soak the mung beans overnight: This will help to soften them and make them easier to blend. Soaking the beans will also reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a high-powered blender: This will help to create a smooth batter. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the batter for a longer period of time.
  • Add vegetables and herbs to the batter: This will add flavor and texture to the pancakes. Some good options include kimchi, green onions, carrots, and zucchini.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite dipping sauce: Some good options include soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or chili sauce.

Conclusion:

Bindaetteok, also known as mung bean pancakes, is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. These pancakes are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
