You can hear it in Dave's voice how much he misses his Mom. This is beautiful - and the food looks delicious.

I love watching David because he is so not flashy, instead of music we hear cooking sounds, what it's supposed to sound like while cooking.. And I love hearing him talk about his mom. Clearly he misses her. You can hear how much he does in his voice.

Hearing him hold back tears made me tear up. RIP mama Chang (Woo [SP])

I remember your Mom from Thanksgiving on Ugly Delicious. She was smart and funny and so full of love for her family. Thanks for sharing.

Mung beans are a staple in our region( south India). We make fritters, pancakes, dryfries with vegetables to be eaten with rice, dal like curries, ricedish( pongal , kichdi), sweet rice, soup (charu) etc with mung beans. Mung beans were grown as an intermidaitary crop between rice crops as it requires less water. (my grandpa was afarmer), so luv anything with mung beans.

The “recipe” we’ve been waiting for. Maybe your mom was always pursuing a better bindaetteok as well and wanted you to do the same, without telling you. Now you can carryon the pursuit. Props to your mom and props to you for sharing.

I lost my mom eight years ago, and there's no greater pain than trying to remember a recipe and thinking "Oh let me call me mom real quick to ask what I'm missing" and having reality crash down on you.

"I'm pot committed" lmao what a great pun.

What an incredibly personal and meaningful recipe. Nothing beats a mother's cooking and I love that you strive to make things like she did to honor her the best you could. What a great way to remember Mama Chang!

I’m a culinary student. My mom just dropped off groceries since I don’t work full time in a kitchen anymore. This video makes me appreciate my mom even more.

My mom incorporates the rice too! Gosari (fern) is also added. My aunts who are from North Korea added fern.

We keep loved ones alive in our hearts from memory's of them often doing things that we took for granted at the time and then realize later how much those simple things impacted us and miss and maybe shaped how we are today , Thank You for this video

Sherri, what an absolute legend.

Such a great tribute.

Beautiful tribute to your mom! ❤

Awh man sorry to hear Dave I remember watching your Netflix episode with your mom in it both cooking together

I haven't made that..I did made cold noodle soup when I was in High School but I forgot the salt.My mom passed away February, 2023.I appreciate hearing these stories that I can connect to being Korean American. Thank you.

We love you, Dave, and we appreciate you so much for sharing your wonderful mother with us- and her cooking.

My mom is from Hwanghae in the north. I made bindaettoek with gosari, kimchi, mung bean sprots, and pork belly. I love your approach to recreating your mother's recipe. I made a lot of batter and will be sharing them with friends and neighbors. I'll be remembering you and your mother when I deliver them.

The story and background at the top of this adds so much to the recipe. Thanks for sharing. Long live Mama Chang!

A beautiful homage to your Mom!

I’m sorry your mom is gone. What a great memory of her. Thanks for sharing it.

Where ever this guys mom is, I bet she's watching with that adorable Mom's Smile🤩😍

Always loved Sherri's laugh on Ugly Delicious and anywhere else she might have shown up. All the Korean food I've seen on David Chang shows is why I keep a tub of gochujang in the fridge and have even thrown it in molés. Side note - props to not cutting meat on the wood block. The one habit that could make me skip every Rick Bayless video regardless of what hes doing.

Your mom was an amazingly courageous woman...so sorry she's gone.

This is such a special dish ❤with this recipe, your mom will be always remembered

Rest in peace Mama Chang ❤

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm so grateful that you shared those memories and this recipe with us. I'm sure from where she is she's laughing at us trying to recreate her recipe. And I'm sure she's very proud of you.

The other important element of a nostalgic recipe that cannot be recreated are the other senses that others experienced while eating a revered dish, e.g., the lighting, sounds, temperature, smells and so forth. Like a piece of art, while the creators intent is important, each individuals experience is their own and that is ok.

You gotta love your Mum..... even if they don't give their recipes to you ....which is a " typical cooks mindset " ..... NOT YOURS DAVID.......LOL !

Mom's are so amazing and hilarious 😂 - of course they'll have us out here with a forever kitchen homework excercise of trying tonrecreate their greats. Back to Salisbury steak recreation, I go 😊

Looking forward to cooking (and eating) 빈대떡 for the first time this Thanksgiving. 감사합니다, Dave!

There was this little bar around the corner of my last apartment in Daegu, Korea that made bindaeduk so well. A Korean grandmother whose food I miss all the time.

Great recipe and wonderful tribute to your mother. I spoke to a friend of mine in India who tells me the Indian equivalent is roughly moong dal chilla, popular in many regions but especially in Rajasthan.

I always wanted Mung Bean Pancakes!!!! THANKS DAVE!

I've never seen garlic minced like that

In India we make mung bean pancakes with split green lentils which are ground and left to ferment overnight and then combined with shallots green chillies and ginger before frying them up. They are served with green mint coriander chutney

of the things my Mother In Law makes... thsi is probably my all time favorite (next to her vegetarian mandoo). and SHE ALSO changes the recipe seemingly everytime she makes 'em. love this stuff...

Family favourite dishes have the best memories, my grandmother ( my mums mother in law) didn’t share her recipes, but my mum did she wanted everyone to keep the family traditions and memories going. In saying that it never tastes as good as hers. I asked her once after reading her recipe for plum pudding what was 6 generous tablespoons of brandy was, she just looked at me oddly and said “ oh you know maybe 8 or more” 😊😊😊

This was jus beautiful, i have never tasted a mung-bean so i would love to try this dish.

Just learned about Mama Chang's passing thru this video. I'm sorry for your loss, Dave

Bindaetteok is my favorite dish my mom makes! Her recipe varies too but adding scallions, kimchi, pork, clams, and jalapeños are my favorite

I just made my moms cesar salad dressing ❤ felt good for the soul to taste it again

My grandma would add bean sprouts & fiddle ferns to these pancakes and they were my favorite nobody in the family can make them since she passed

Brother I love this story I never comment on videos but you brought a tear to my glass eye

This is an incredible way to celebrate your mom. Thank you so much for sharing her spirit and love of food. We all can benefit from remembering that food can and should express deep love and care.❤❤❤

I remember your beautiful mom on that Thanksgiving show you did so long ago♥️she sure loved you David… I think she was a warrior🪷🥰🙋‍♀️🕉️🥲☮️♥️

This is a very sweet tribute to your mom. I can relate to your desire to carry on your family recipes. I also have fond memories making bin dae dduk, mandu, and dubu. I want to master my mom's kimchi recipe. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for sharing.

I'm a celiac and I'm delighted to see this is incidentally gluten free (depending on your sourcing of the ingredients and sticking with the Tamari). Incidentally gluten free is usually the best food I can get.

I just discovered your show, I love it, if you ever need an extra person to cook something up let me know.

I loved watching your mom ❤. Thank you for sharing her with us. I think that you should call your version “King Baby Pancakes”. That was my favourite moment in Ugly Delicious when you said “that’s not a compliment”😂. My mom passed away in 2020 and there is some of her recipes that have been lost because there’s nobody left from her generation to ask. I keep searching for similar ones online hoping I will be able to recreate them.

Love this.

Thank you. 💛

they look really good

Like most mothers, she probably put whatever was readily available that day into the recipe so it did change depending which ingredients she had on hand 😅

My mom makes these nearly the same way. Substitute the onions with mung beans sprouts for that slight crunchy texture. Sometimes she adds rice flour or not. The rice flour helps to hold the shape when frying or works as a filler. Only mung bean mixture will fall apart easily.

My ex mother in law used to make that and I can’t figure it out either lmao

Loved seeing your Mom in the Ugly Delicious show…Condolences Bro. My mom didn’t really pass on some of her recipes either and I’ve been chasing those flavors in my own cooking ✌️❤

Thank you so much for sharing this! And so much love and sorrow that is is shared beautifully too. A small question though that someone might be able to answer: on an electric griddle there won’t be sides to the drying surface, so will there be less oil used while frying? Won’t that affect the taste? Or have I missed that one can use quite abit of oil on griddles? 🧐

Sounds like it was a “gather your fragments”dish for your mom

Mama’s Kings ❤

I am sure the recipe changed so much because she used whatever she had on hand. 😊

You can also add ground pork, fresh bean sprouts, or fernbrake (if you can’t find that, you can use fresh par-boiled asparagus that you pull apart lengthwise or even string/green beans) to your recipe. I personally like to add ground fresh garlic to my pancakes. I got that from Maangchi years ago. You can use fresh kimchi or fermented kimchi. Some people rinse their fermented kimchi to remove some of the sour taste from the kimchi if it’s older and very fermented. If you use the fermented kimchi and don’t rinse it off, then I highly recommend adding a little bit of sugar to balance the saltiness and sourness from the kimchi. It really comes down to your preferences though. This is a highly subjective and personal recipe.

Any plans to publish a written recipe?

Omg we make same thing in India Moong dal cheela/dosa ( green mung beans,or yellow husked mung beans) Soak mung beans for four hours....stone grind/ blender coarsely with green/red chillies,shallots,salt ,cumin or pepper optional....ferment for two hours... In the batter mix in finely chopped onion,ginger,coriander leaves...make dosa/pancakes... roast with ghee Optional add rice flour or semolina and grind but only two tsp for dosa to become crisp or manageable while flipping 😊

I wish I had a food my mom or dad shared with me. I don't. We ate kraft mac and cheese and hot dogs and spaghetti and burritos, which were tortillas with refried beans from a can and cheese. She put the food on the table and we ate it. I loved it growing up, but feel weirdly angry when people say everyone has a special food connection with their parents. I don't. But my mom read to me every night, and so I have books that connect us, and my dad was a big band trombone player, so music is a big part of my life because of him. I'm a foodie now, but def wasn't growing up. My food love now comes from watching PBS cooking shows on Saturday morning, before the Food Network existed, and buying won ton soup at the Chinese food place up the street with my saved up pennies, to eat at the playground while reading.

my mother's recipe is very similar except she would season all ingredients prior to mixing it.

May be you need to add a little rice tocrisp your pancake up . Thats what we do at home

소고기 다시다. Korean beef stock powder. Thats the kind of msg used

Does anyone know the brand of apron Dave is wearing?

I flew back to CA to visit my family and my mom dragged me to a cooking demonstration given by one of the ladies she was acquainted with to promote a line of sauces, it turned out to be your mom! I’m kicking myself for not taking better notes. I still have some of her sauces in my pantry. Her 빈대떡 was delicious！ it was her recipe that turned me back on to mung bean pancakes!

Anyone know what non-sticks Dave is using in this?

Does anyone know what kind/material the cutting board he was using on top of the Boos cutting board? I need that in my life.

This reminds me of dosa

Wu Chang Clan!

great recipe, but triple island? get a grip!

Kim's convenience anyone?

As a talented chef that you are, can’t you just recreate your mom’s dish without a recipe? I very frequently make food that I’ve had in a restaurant and make it as well or even better! I might consult other recipes or read about that particular cuisine to learn about how to handle the ingredients (might you blanch something, what thickener would it be- potato starch, rice flour?) but I can usually make it very satisfactorily.

My recipe is mandu and being old enough to sit around and fold Mandu while grandma would fry them. She apparently couldn't cook a lot and my grandpa doesn't do sesame oil so our food is relatively bland compared to restaurant food. But it's comfort

This reminds me of dosa
