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.
