Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon plus 3/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper powder) or crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 ounces ground pork (about 1/3 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated garlic, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 cups dried peeled split yellow mung beans, soaked for 3 hours or up to overnight
  • 1 1/2 cups (packed) chopped cabbage kimchi (12 ounces), excess liquid squeezed out
  • 1 red or green Thai chile, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons (about) vegetable oil, divided

Instructions

  1. Mix 1 tablespoon scallion, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, vinegar, and gochugaru in a small bowl. Set dipping sauce aside.

Purée beans and 1/2 cup soaking liquid in a blender, adding more water by tablespoonfuls if necessary, until mixture is a thick, slightly chunky paste. Transfer to a large bowl. Add 3/4 cup scallions, 1 teaspoon garlic, kimchi, and chile to bean purée. Mix well; season batter with salt. Stir in pork mixture.
