meokda

Meokda is a traditional Korean dish that has gained popularity in recent years. It is a type of Korean pancake made from a batter of rice flour, water, and sometimes other ingredients like eggs or vegetables. The batter is poured onto a hot, non-stick surface, such as a teflon pan or a griddle, and cooked until it forms a thin, crispy pancake.

The name "meokda" comes from the Korean word "meok," which means "to cook" or "to fry," and "da," which means "cake" or "pancake." The dish is often served as a side dish or a snack, and can be enjoyed plain or topped with various ingredients such as sweet red bean paste, honey, or fruit.

Meokda is typically round in shape and has a thin, crispy exterior and a soft, slightly chewy interior. It is often compared to a Western-style pancake, but with a distinctively different texture and taste. The dish is relatively easy to make and can be customized with a variety of ingredients, making it a versatile option for both home cooking and commercial food service.

In Korea, meokda is often associated with street food and can be found at various food stalls and markets. It is also a popular dish among Koreans for celebrations and festivals, such as Chuseok, the Korean harvest festival. Meokda is typically served at room temperature and can be enjoyed as a light meal or a sweet treat.
