BUN WITH RED BEAN PASTE UPGRADE
It’s funny that trying to upgrade my childhood snack ended up being unsatisfying! Food, taste, and memory are closely tied together, sometimes it’s hard to change them. I also set out to make it more nutritious by adding milk to the batter, and even though this was delicious it wasn’t the taste I remembered and used to love, so I don’t use it anymore. It should be soft and fluffy, but not spongy. And I also remembered the taste and texture of the bread.
BUN WITH RED BEAN PASTE HOW TO
I missed the taste of bungeoppang so much, and since I always closely watched the vendors working, I had a pretty good idea of how to make it. I was thrilled! I couldn’t wait to get back home and try it out. Then on a recent trip to Los Angeles I found one in a kitchenware store in Koreatown! And I didn’t think I’d be able to find the fish-shaped pan that I needed. My readers have been requesting this recipe for years, but I thought it would be impossible to make at home and have it taste like it does on the streets of Korea. They sell them all over the Korea in the streets, and they’re very cheap. And “ppang” is the Korean word for bread. In Korean, a “bungeo” is a crucian carp, which looks like a big goldfish. This will be a relief for those of you who used to live in Korea, because I’m sure you’re missing this sweet, hot, delicious treat.įor those of you who never had it, it’s a crispy outside, hot, fish shaped bread in the shape of a fish, with a red bean filling. Hi everybody! Bungeoppang, the super-popular Korean street snack is here! : )Īfter watching this video you’ll be able to make it at home whenever you want.
