Time needed: 1 day and 45 minutes.
DIFFICULTY: Easy
Makes: 4 – 6 servings
Ingredients:
1 cup dried mung beans
¼ cup glutinous rice
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup rice flour
¾ cup water
¾ cup ground pork
¾ cup cabbage kimchi, chopped
1½ cup pako leaves, boiled
2 cups bean sprouts, washed and drained
1 piece large egg
1/3 cup spring onions, chopped
4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons sesame oil
4-5 tablespoons vegetables oil
Dipping sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar
Chopped spring onions
Procedure:
In a bowl, combine the dried mung beans and glutinous rice. Wash and rinse at least 2 times. Cover completely with water and soak overnight. Drain well.
Chop the boiled pako leaves into ½-inch pieces. Place in a large bowl. Add kimchi, ground pork, bean sprouts, spring onion, garlic, egg, sesame oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well.
Place soaked mung beans, glutinous rice, and water in a blender/food processor/mortar and pestle and grind into a creamy loose paste. Add to the bowl of vegetable mixture. Add flour and rice flour. Mix well. Once left to settle, water will drain. Just mix it up again.
In a wide non-stick pan over medium heat, add enough oil to cover half of the bottom and heat it up. Add about 1 cup of the batter into the pan and spread it out into a 6-inch round torta. Cook until the bottom turns light golden brown and crunchy, about 3 – 4 minutes. Turn it over and cook until the second side turns light golden brown, another 2 minutes. Turn it over once more and cook another 2 minutes on the first side. Add more vegetable oil to the pan if needed.
