Fermented Mung Beans and Brown Rice Bindaetteok Pancakes

Wanted make a something I never tried for my husband, chef Eric Lechasseur who is always cooking either for his private clients, our vegan macrobiotic dogs, me and our vegan macrobiotic restaurant Seed Kitchen in Venice, California.

I wanted use Mung beans since I never used them so first I soaked them...
 
 
....making savory pancakes came up to my mind. 
I did not want to use flour so I soaked also brown rice,
then, an idea of making Korean Bindaetteok Pancakes got sprouted.


 
It came out very light and tasty. Eric loved it so much and he had second!
