Main 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
- 1 tsp maple syrup
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the mung beans. Soak the mung beans thoroughly for about 3 hours. After soaking, gently rub the mung beans between your hands to remove the skins. Discard the skins that float to the surface by carefully pouring out the water. While some pre-hulled mung beans are available, if you want to ensure extra cleanliness and safety, you can briefly blanch them in boiling water to remove the skins before proceeding.
Step 2
Add the peeled and chopped potato to the soaked mung beans. Add a little water to help them blend smoothly, and then process in a blender or food processor until finely ground. It’s important to achieve a smooth batter without any lumps.
Step 3
Prepare the other ingredients. Rinse the aged kimchi, squeeze out excess water, and chop it finely. Finely dice the king oyster mushroom, zucchini, green chili pepper, and red chili pepper. Dicing them small is recommended, as large pieces may take longer to cook or cause the pancakes to tear.
Step 4
Combine all the prepared ingredients—aged kimchi, king oyster mushroom, zucchini, green chili pepper, and red chili pepper—into the ground mung bean batter. Mix well with a spatula or spoon until everything is evenly incorporated. This will complete your delicious mung bean pancake batter.
Step 5
Now it’s time to cook the pancakes. Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Ladle the mung bean batter into the pan, about one ladleful per pancake, forming round shapes. Reduce the heat to low and cook slowly until golden brown and crispy on both sides. You’ll know they’re ready when a wonderful aroma fills the air.
Step 6
Arrange the well-cooked mung bean pancakes attractively on a plate. Finally, drizzle a little maple syrup over them for a touch of sweetness. Your healthy and delicious mung bean pancakes are now complete! They taste best when served warm.
