I love Korean food, and one of my favorite things to order at restaurants is the seafood pancake, Hamuel Pajoon. It\u2019s light, crispy, peppered with scallion, squid, and shrimp, and so so flavorful. It is usually eaten with a dipping sauce (honestly the best part), and just look at how yummy it looks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a huge disappointment for me after I started my gluten-free diet when I found out I could not eat seafood pancakes anymore (they contained flour). I needed to find a substitute for it and that is where this savory mung bean pancake comes in! Made majorly of grounded up mung beans, this Korean-inspired pancake is gluten-free and just as delicious.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*I am not Korean so I cannot confirm the authenticity of my recipe as truly Korean, but the ingredients and cooking methods are all based on traditional korean recipes for Bindae-tteok. That is why these are korean-inspired!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mung bean pancakes do require preparation ahead of time, as you need to soak the mung beans overnight. I use dried mung bean with the green skin stil on, but you can also use the hulled kind as well, both pictured below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To simplify the process, you can make a big batch of the base mung-bean mix and customize with any combination of add-ins when you are ready to cook. I like to add scallions, carrots, chives and ground pork to mine, but you can add almost any type of vegetable or meats to them! Other common toppings include bean sprouts, cabbage, and dried seaweed. It\u2019s a fun process to test out different flavor combinations\u2014I am excited to try adding kimchi and cheese the next time I make these!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Kitchen Bop Music Rec:<\/em><\/strong> Blame on You<\/em> by Victoria Song. This is an upbeat song that makes you want to dance! Did you know that Victoria used to be a member of the korean girl band F(x)? She\u2019s a really good dancer and singer.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    These are cooked on the stove in under 15 minutes, so they are still relatively fast to make. I recommend you to try to include the dipping sauce too; it adds so much depth in taste!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
