Batter:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup chopped kimchi
  • 2 tablespoons kimchi brine
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour and water to make a smooth batter. Add the egg, chopped kimchi, kimchi brine, green onions, soy sauce, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
  2. Cook the Pancakes: Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, spreading it into a circle. Cook until the edges are crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

  4. Serve: Cut the pancakes into wedges and serve hot with the dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can customize the level of spiciness by adjusting the amount of kimchi and kimchi brine.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients like shrimp, pork, or tofu to the batter for added flavor.
  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before pouring the batter to ensure a crispy texture.
