Hello! I have been wanting to make this for my kids but unfortunately my son is allergic to eggs and sesame. Can I use an egg replacer (like Bob Mill’s Egg replacer or flax seed “egg”) and olive oil for this recipe? I’ve used several of you me other recipes and we LOVE them, but not anything that requires egg. Thank you!!
I have made this with flaxseed egg and it worked well.
Great, thank you! I just now saw this reply. I don’t use flax seed eggs often, how do you prep/use them?
Decided to try making this for the lst time. It was great! It made seven big pancakes!
I had two for lunch/dinner. I switched to a pescatarian diet 5 months ago, but it was so good without any meat!
감사합니다!

Delicious!
This was my first creation from Maangchi’s website! Turned out fine, a little raw in the middle in some of my bindaetteok. Next time I”l do smaller bindaetteok cooked individually.
Couldn’t find fernbrake anywhere (I’m so curious to taste it!). The search continues.
Thank you, Maangchi!!!
I was only able to buy an 8lb bag of sweet rice so I have A LOT left over! Curious to know how people like to use this ingredient.
Hello Maangchi!
I was wondering if it was possible to use fresher kimchi instead..? I had already softened my gosari and when I did that I forgot that my kimchi were not well fermented kimchi, I just made them yesterday…
Is there anything I can add to make the flavour more “deep” like well fermented kimchi…?
Thank you!
Hi Maangchi,
Can I substitue the mung bean and glutinous rice with mung bean flour and glutinous rice flour instead?
Yes, you can.
Is it still the same ratio? 1/4 cup glutonous rice flour with 1 cup of mung bean flour?
hi maangchi!! i’m really wanting to make this but i don’t eat meat – do you think it would still be delicious without the pork? i was considering mushrooms for savoury flavour; and maybe some firm tofu for protein? i’m unsure, i might play around and post my results – some of my favourite veg substitutions have come from the comments sections of your recipes!
I’ve been wanting to try these for a long time. I couldn’t find the skinned Mung beans here so I ordered them from Amazon. Finally made the pancakes tonight, perfect for night shift snack

It looks amazing!
If i can’t find the gosari, can i add some sliced shiitake mushrooms? And do you think chicken mince will work as well? As the pork here is pretty tough and rubbery even with the loins
Yes, sliced shiitake mushroom and minced chicken meat sounds good!
Spectacular recipe! I made these for a Korean friend of mine and she got very emotional….said her grandmother used to make them. There is a little learning curve, but once you figure it out and get the stove temp right, you can make them quickly. I also did not have sweet rice, so I substituted Italian Arborio rice (used for risotto). Came out perfectly, and after soaking all night ground to a paste with the mung beans with no problems. I will be making these regularly!
I’m very happy to hear that your Korean friend was impressed by your homemade bindaetteok! Happy cooking!
Omg!! These are absolutely fantastic!!! The taste and texture is out of this world!! My husband absolutely loved them!! I will definitely make another batch and make extra to freeze!! This is mid-week meal game changer!!
Thank you so so much for sharing this with me!! I love watching your show!! Thank you for inspiring!! Magical!!
