easy korean fish pastry.
the easiest shortcut hack to make korean fish pastry/bungeoppang π
ingredients
any pancake mix + other required ingredients listed on pacakage
usually milk & oil
optional: 2 tsps matcha powder (culinary grade)
red bean paste
extra neutral oil, to grease pan
tools
fish-shaped pastry/taiyaki pan
gas stove or portable gas stove
pastry brush
whisk
jug
wire rack
steps
prepare the pancake batter: make pancake batter according to package directions. for matcha pancakes, sift & mix in about 2 tsps of matcha powder (per 1/2 cup of pancake mix) into the dry pancake mix prior to adding the wet ingredients. batter should be somewhat fluid than thick. transfer batter to a jug
grease both sides of the pan with oil. then heat the pan on medium-low heat for 1 minute on each side
turn off heat and pour the first layer of batter (about 1/3 full) into each fish mold. add about 1 tbsp of filling (red bean paste or other) in the center and pour the second layer of batter, covering the filling and any empty spots. close the mold and then turn heat on low
cook on low heat for about 3-4 minutes before flipping it to the other side. i usually flip about 30 seconds after i hear a sizzling sound. flip pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes. take quick peeks while they cook to make sure they donβt burn, it can burn real quick! cook until both sides are golden brown. carefully take out of the pan and place on a wire rack
enjoy!
notes
1/2 cup of dry pancake mix makes about 3 fish
to reheat, pop them in a toaster oven or oven at 350F for 10 minutes, flip half way through
you can also freeze them and reheat in the oven
get creative with the filling! you can add nutella, sweet potato paste, ube paste, oreos, etc.
