Ingredients

  • 2 cups dried, peeled mung beans, soaked overnight and drained
  • 4 ounces boneless pork loin, trimmed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup kimchi, rinsed, strained, and finely chopped, plus 1⁄2 cup of the kimchi pickling liquid
  • 1 1/2 cups mung bean sprouts, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 6 scallions, halved lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Vegetable oil for cooking
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or gluten-free soy sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions

  • In a food processor, purée the mung beans with 13⁄4 cups water until smooth.
  • Transfer to a large bowl and add the pork, kimchi and kimchi pickling liquid, sprouts, salt, scallions, and garlic. Stir to mix well.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Working in batches and adding more oil as needed, pan-fry the pancakes, using 3 to 4 tablespoons batter per pancake. Flip each pancake once, and cook until golden, for a total 8 to 10 minutes each. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Stir the soy sauce and vinegar together in a small bowl to make a dipping sauce.
  • To serve, you can cut the pancakes in half or in quarters if you wish. Serve with the soy sauce dip on the side.

Notes

  • Crispy Goodness: Achieving that irresistible crunch is all about letting the batter rest. Patience is key – give it at least 30 minutes before you start cooking. Trust me, it's worth the wait! 
  • Flavor Fusion: Don't shy away from experimenting with toppings. From grated cheese to fresh herbs, the sky's the limit. Mix and match to create your signature Mung Bean Pancake masterpiece. 
  • Wholesome Swaps: Looking for a healthier twist? Use whole wheat flour or a gluten-free alternative for the batter. You'll be surprised how the pancakes remain just as delightful!
