Bindae-tteok (Korean: 빈대떡), or mung bean pancake, is a type of buchimgae (Korean pancake) that originated in the Pyongan Province.[2][3] It is made by grinding soaked mung beans, adding vegetables and meat and pan-frying it into a round, flat shape.[4]
Etymology and history
[edit | edit source]Bindae-tteok first appears under the name pincya (빈쟈) in the Guidebook of Homemade Food and Drinks, a 1670 cookbook written by Chang Kyehyang.[5] The word appears to be derived from pingcya (빙쟈), the Middle Korean transcription of the hanja word 餠𩜼, whose first character is pronounced bǐng and means "round and flat pancake-like food".[6][7] The pronunciation and the meaning of the second letter are unknown.[8] Tteok (Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter exited with status 1.) means a steamed, boiled, or pan-fried cake (usually a rice cake but in this case a pancake).
During the Joseon era (1392–1897), richer households would dispense bindae-tteok to poorer people gathered outside the South Great Gate of Seoul during times of hardship.[9]
Bindaetteok was often eaten in the northwestern part of Hwanghae-do and Pyeongan-do.[10]
Preparation
[edit | edit source]Bindae-tteok is made with mung bean batter with a filling made of bracken, pork, mung bean sprouts, and baechu-kimchi (napa cabbage kimchi).[1]
To make the filling for bindae-tteok, soaked bracken is cut into short pieces, mixed with ground pork, and seasoned with soy sauce, chopped scallions, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and sesame oil.[1] Mung bean sprouts are washed, blanched, cut into short pieces and seasoned with salt and sesame oil.[1] Kimchi is unstuffed and squeezed to remove its fillings and excess juice, then cut into small pieces.[1] The ingredients are then mixed.[1]
Washed, soaked, and husked mung beans are ground with water and seasoned with salt to make the batter.[1]
The mung bean batter is ladled on a hot frying pan greased with a considerable amount of cooking oil, topped with the filling, and followed by another layer of the batter poured over the top of the filling. Finally, the bindae-tteok is topped with pieces of diagonally sliced green and red chili pepper.[1] The pancakes are pan-fried on both sides, and served with a dipping sauce consisting of soy sauce, vinegar, water, and ground pine nuts.[1]
