Yes, those are called " bindaetuk " , and they ARE delicious!

They're also a good way to use up kim chee that has gone

soft but which is otherwise still good.

Drain them and put the soaked beans and the 1/3 c. water

in a blender and process till it looks like hummos. Put

this mixture in a bowl and add the scallions, bean sprouts,

kim chee and juice, and salt. They recommend letting the

batter sit in the fridge for a day for better flavor.

Spoon drop the batter and flatten into a frying pan with

a few T. of heated fat in it (I used bacon grease--lard

would probably be ideal). They should be about 3 " in

diameter. Fry until golden, about 3 min per side. Serve

with a dipping sauce of 1/4 c. soy sauce with 1 T. vinegar.
