A savory Chinese-style bean cake made from mung beans, pan-fried until crispy, and served with a spicy pepper sauce for a delightful appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

• 1 cup dried mung beans, soaked overnight
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/4 cup water

Instructions

1. Drain soaked mung beans and blend with 1/2 cup water until smooth. Stir in salt and white pepper.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in bean mixture and spread evenly. Cook until bottom is golden and set, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook other side until golden, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cut into squares.
3. In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Sauté green onions, garlic, and chili peppers for 1 minute.
4. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

• Adjust the amount of chili peppers to your spice preference.
• Leftover bean cake can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet.
