Baek Jong-won's Kongjeon (Pan-fried Bean Pancakes)

A super simple kongjeon made by quickly cooking raw, unsoaked beans in a microwave and boiling water, then grinding them in a blender. It's as savory and light as bindaetteok.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Cooking tips

  • It's best to use the most powerful blender you have at home that grinds evenly.
  • Using minced pork with a moderate amount of fat, rather than just lean meat, will significantly enhance the savory flavor.
  • If children are picky eaters, finely chop the green onions or other vegetables so they eat the kongjeon without realizing it contains beans.
  • The beans themselves have no seasoning, so adding about half a tablespoon of salt is crucial for the flavor to come through when combined with the pancake mix.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to quickly enjoy the taste of holiday bindaetteok at home without the soaking process.
  • Those who want to deliciously feed their children protein-rich beans by stealth.
  • Those looking for a savory, cost-effective side dish to pair with makgeolli or beer.
