Ingredients

Recipe Description: 

Korean pancakes also once known as the Poor Man’s Pancake dates back to the late 15th early 16th century. The main ingredient in mung bean pancakes are dried split mung beans that are ground into a batter with water and mixed with vegetables, mung bean sprouts, seasonings, kimchi and sometimes sweet rice. Bindaetteok is still popular today as a snack, appetizer or quick meal.

  • Pancakes reheat well.
