Pancake Ingredients
- 1 cup soaked mung beans
- 1 potato
- 100g aged kimchi
- 1 king oyster mushroom
- 1/2 zucchini
- 1 green chili pepper
- 1 red chili pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the aged kimchi. Rinse it thoroughly to remove excess brine and seasoning, then finely chop it into approximately 1cm pieces. This will add a pleasant texture and balanced flavor to the pancake batter.
Step 2
Clean the king oyster mushroom and zucchini, pat them dry, and finely mince them. Also, finely mince the green and red chili peppers after removing their seeds. Mincing the vegetables finely ensures they distribute evenly throughout the batter, resulting in a smoother pancake texture.
Step 3
Now, let’s create the base for our pancakes. In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked mung beans and the peeled, chopped potato. Blend until you achieve a smooth batter. Ensure the mung beans and potato are well combined into a smooth consistency.
Step 4
It’s time to assemble the batter! Add the minced king oyster mushroom, zucchini, green chili pepper, red chili pepper, and the chopped aged kimchi to the blended mung bean and potato mixture. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Proper mixing ensures all the flavors meld together beautifully.
Step 5
Let’s get cooking! Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Ladle portions of the batter onto the hot pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, flipping occasionally. Be mindful of the heat; cooking on high heat might burn the outside before the inside is cooked through.
Step 6
Once your delicious mung bean and potato pancakes are golden and cooked through, transfer them to a plate. Drizzle with sweet maple syrup to your liking for a perfect finish! The blend of sweet maple syrup, savory pancake, and the tangy kimchi creates a truly delightful taste experience. Enjoy your meal!
