Korean meat pancake, called donggeurangttaeng in Korean, is a small, round ground-meat patty coated in flour and beaten egg, then pan-fried. It is a type of jeon, often served as a side dish with rice and other Korean dishes.
Mix ground meat with finely chopped vegetables and seasonings, then shape the mixture into small, flat patties. Coat each patty in flour and beaten egg, and pan-fry until browned and cooked through.
Korean meat pancake is usually made with ground beef, pork, or a mixture, plus ingredients such as onion, carrot, and seasonings. Flour and beaten egg form the coating; some recipes also mix tofu or other finely chopped vegetables into the patties.
Korean meat pancake is commonly served warm or at room temperature as a side dish with rice and banchan. It can also be eaten with a soy-based dipping sauce, and leftovers are often added to a packed meal.
Korean meat pancake is made from small patties coated in flour and egg and pan-fried. Tteokgalbi is typically a thicker, grilled minced-meat dish with a texture closer to a grilled patty, so the cooking method and finish differ.
Yes. Korean meat pancake can be made with ground beef, ground pork, or a mixture of the two. Choose the meat to suit your preferred flavor, and avoid overcooking the patties so they stay moist.
Let leftover Korean meat pancake cool, then refrigerate it in a covered container. Keep it separate from raw meat and reheat it until hot throughout before serving.
Yes, cooked Korean meat pancake freezes well. Cool the patties, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer them to a sealed freezer-safe container; thaw in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly before eating.
Reheat Korean meat pancake in a lightly oiled skillet over low to medium heat to help the coating stay firm. A microwave is quicker but can soften the outside; either way, heat the center thoroughly.
Korean meat pancake can fall apart if the mixture is too wet, the patties are loosely shaped, or they are flipped before the coating sets. Drain excess moisture from vegetables, press the patties firmly, and let the first side cook before turning.

Korean meat pancake, or donggeurangttaeng, is made by shaping seasoned minced meat—often with tofu or finely chopped vegetables—into small patties, coating them in flour and egg, then pan-frying them. Recipes vary by household. The patties are savoury and tender inside, with a lightly browned surface.
In Korea they are served as a side dish with rice, included in lunchboxes, or made for festive meals. Elsewhere, they pair easily with rice and a crisp salad. They offer substantial protein, though pan-frying adds fat and they contain little fibre. For a lighter version, use lean mince and just enough oil to coat the pan.
