Memil-buchimgae (메밀부침개) or buckwheat pancake is a variety of

Korean pancake. It is a crepe-like dish made of thin buckwheat batter and napa cabbage.[1]

Along with other buckwheat dishes, it is a traditional local speciality of

memilguksu (buckwheat noodles). Pyeongchang's biggest local festival was called Memilbuchigi festival before it was renamed Pyeongchang Festival in 2015.[2] (Memilbuchigi means memilbuchimgae in Gangwon dialect.) Numerous memilbuchimgae can be seen in Pyeongchang Market, a farmers' market held in Pyeongchang every five days.[3]

Preparation

Memilbuchimgae

The batter is prepared by mixing buckwheat flour and water to a thin consistency. Sometimes a small amount of

pan-frying. Several pieces of vertically ripped salted napa cabbage and scallions are put on the heated sodang, and the batter is poured over them from their margin.[5] Sour kimchi can be replaced with the cabbage. When making the memilbuchimgae, the batter should be poured thinly because thick memilbuchimgae is considered less delicious.[6] Perilla oil is used to cook the dish.[5]

Foods made with memilbuchimgae

Bingtteok, Jeju specialty

Memilbuchimgae can be used as an ingredient in other dishes such as memil chongtteok (메밀총떡), also called memil jeonbyeong (메밀전병). The dish is formed like a

cheonsachae (천사채), which are made from kelp, are especially used.[5][9]

The dish is considered a good anju because the combination of the savoury and somewhat bland taste of memilbuchimgae combined with the pungent flavour of the filling makes a good companion for drinking alcoholic beverages.[5]
