How to Make It

  • 1

    Soak 200g of dried mung beans in water for at least 4 hours until they double in volume.

  • 2

    Drain the beans and grind them coarsely in a food processor with a splash of water until you get a thick, textured batter.

  • 3

    Stir 100g of blanched bean sprouts and 150g of chopped kimchi into the batter to provide crunch and acidity.

  • 4

    Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil until it shimmers.

  • 5

    Pour a large ladle of batter into the pan and flatten it slightly with a spatula to form a 1cm thick pancake.

  • 6

    Cook for 5 minutes per side until the edges turn deep golden brown and the center is cooked through.

  • 7

    Ensure the heat is not too high; if it browns too quickly, lower it to medium so the interior cooks without burning the surface.

  • 8

    Serve the pancakes piping hot immediately with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili flakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bindaetteok?

Bindaetteok is a Korean savory pancake made primarily from ground mung bean batter mixed with ingredients like kimchi and bean sprouts. Typically fried in oil, it is served as a popular snack or side dish often accompanied by a soy-based dipping sauce.

Can I use mung bean flour?

While flour is convenient, using soaked, ground beans provides the authentic, slightly grainy texture that defines Bindaetteok.

How do I prevent them from breaking?

Avoid flipping the pancake too early; wait until the bottom is fully set and firm before carefully turning it over.

Are they gluten-free?

Not necessarily: the batter relies only on mung beans as the base binder, but the recipe also uses soy sauce and kimchi, so it is only gluten-free if those are.

What is the secret to the crispiness?

The secret is using enough oil and maintaining a medium-high heat to create a crusty exterior layer.
