✎
HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Drain the soaked mung beans thoroughly. In a blender, combine the drained mung beans, all-purpose flour, rice flour, salt, white pepper, and water. Blend until a smooth batter forms, similar to a thick pancake batter.

02

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a round pancake.

03

Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed for each pancake.

04

While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the pickled radish topping. If using store-bought, simply dice it. If making your own, ensure it's finely chopped.

05

Serve the warm mung bean pancakes immediately, topped generously with the diced pickled radish and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of five-spice powder to the batter. Adjust the amount of water in the batter to achieve your desired consistency; it should be thick enough to hold its shape but pourable.
↔

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute the pickled radish with other quick-pickled vegetables like carrots or cucumbers. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend instead of wheat flour.
