Bindaetteok Mung Bean Pancakes Recipes

BINDAETTEOK RECIPE

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.

Steps:

• Rinse and soak the mung beans in water for 3 - 4 hours. Drain.
• Meanwhile, cook the mung bean sprouts in boiling water for about 2 minutes (you can skip this blanching if preferred). Rinse in cold water to stop cooking. Drain and gently squeeze out excess water. Thinly slice the kimchi and scallions. In a large bowl, combine the kimchi, bean sprouts, scallions, meat, soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic. Mix well.
• In a blender, grind 2 cups of the soaked beans in 3/4 cup of cold water with 1/2 teaspoon of salt until it has a coarse, sandlike consistency.
• Add to the vegetable and meat mixture. Repeat with the remaining beans. Gently mix the mung bean batter until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Heat 2 tablespoons or more of oil in a non-stick pan over medium to medium high heat. (See note.) Ladle the mixture into the pan and spread it evenly into a thin round shape. Cook until the bottom is golden brown (2 - 3 minutes), and turn it over, adding more oil. Press it down with a spatula, and cook for another 2- 3 minutes. Repeat the process with the rest of the mixture.
• Serve hot off the pan with a dipping sauce.

BINDAETTEOK (MUNG BEAN PANCAKES)

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.
