Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup Kimchi (chopped, well-fermented)
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 tbsp Kimchi juice
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • 2 piece Green onion (chopped, for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar (for dipping sauce)
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil (for dipping sauce)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, water, and kimchi juice. Mix well until you have a smooth batter.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped kimchi to the batter and mix until evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Pour the batter into the hot skillet, spreading it out evenly to form a thin pancake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    While the pancake is cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.

  6. 6

    Once the pancake is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Cut into wedges and garnish with chopped green onions.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

Chef's Tips

  • 💡For extra crispy pancakes, use cold water when mixing the batter.
  • 💡Adjust the amount of kimchi depending on your spice preference.
  • 💡You can add other vegetables like onions, carrots, or zucchini to the batter for added flavor and texture.

Trouble Coffee Cinnamon Toast

Trouble Coffee Cinnamon Toast

There was once an incredible coffes shop in the Outer Sunset called Trouble Coffee. They had cinnamon bread that was exquisite. This recipe is my humble attempt to recreate the spirit of that iconic cinnamon toast, focusing on a quick toasting method followed by a generous application of softened butter and a simple, aromatic cinnamon, sugar, and cardamom topping. I'm not sure if they used brioche, challah or something else, but I keep hoping I'll run into someone who knows.
