Good grief, it took 30 years to find out what this food treat was: BINDAETTEOK

I've asked for help in figuring this out a few times and my apologies if anyone suggested this Korean dish and I didn't recognize it, but THIS IS IT! This is the fried treat that I used to get down in Coral Gables farmer's market once a week. It was a thick, freshly fried pancake that you could add shrimp to and then top off with a squirt of "spicy red stuff" from a squeeze bottle. I finally realized the red sauce was srirachi but still had problems with the pancakes because I kept finding crepe or eggy or scallion pancake recipes. Since I was stupidly naïve and had only had "Chinese" food living in Pittsburgh and ABQ, it didn't occur to me to check other Asian cuisines for quite some time.

If you scroll down the page on the link, you'll see a woman frying large thick pancakes.

This looks good! Most of the recipes I saw were very close to one another. . .

One used kimchi juice, another use water in the batter. Another used fish sauce and toasted sesame oil in the batter, another used soy sauce and no sesame oil. They all sound good.

And it's vegan, high protein! Of course it's high fat too, but that just makes it better, no? I want some.
