Meyu

Meyu is a traditional Korean dish that has gained popularity worldwide. It is a type of Korean pancake made from a batter of flour, water, and sometimes eggs, which is then cooked on a griddle. The name "meyu" comes from the Korean word for "sweet," reflecting the sweetness of the dish.

The batter for meyu is typically poured onto a hot griddle, creating a thin, circular pancake. It is then flipped and cooked on the other side. The griddle is often seasoned with oil or butter to prevent the pancake from sticking. Once cooked, meyu is usually topped with various sweet fillings such as red bean paste, honey, or fruit preserves. It is often served with a side of soy sauce or sweetened condensed milk for dipping.

Meyu is a popular street food in Korea and is often found at markets and fairs. It is also a common dessert in Korean restaurants and cafes. The dish is known for its sweet and savory flavors, as well as its soft and chewy texture. It is a popular choice for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack.

The origins of meyu are not clear, but it is believed to have been influenced by Chinese and Japanese culinary traditions. The dish has evolved over time, with modern variations often incorporating ingredients not traditionally used. Despite its simplicity, meyu remains a beloved dish in Korea and continues to be enjoyed by food enthusiasts around the world.
