Main Ingredients- 1/2 head of ripe kimchi

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water (adjust as needed for batter consistency)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make a delicious kimchi pancake today that’s wonderfully crispy on the outside and moist on the inside! It’s perfect as a snack, a late-night meal, or even an appetizer to go with drinks. Let’s get started!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the batter that will make our kimchi pancake wonderfully crispy. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of pancake mix and 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Mix them well. Then, prepare about 1 cup of water, but don’t pour it all in at once. Gradually add water while checking the batter’s consistency. The ideal consistency is when it flows smoothly when you lift a spoon or whisk, like a thick but pourable sauce.
Step 3
Now, let’s add the flavor-enhancing ingredients to the batter. Finely slice half an onion and add it to the bowl. For balanced flavor, add a pinch of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Mix everything thoroughly until there are no lumps and you have a smooth batter. This will be our delicious kimchi pancake batter!
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of oil. Ladle in a portion of the batter and spread it thinly. Cook gently, flipping it over to cook both sides until golden brown. It’s important to cook it thoroughly until the edges are crispy and the surface is nicely browned. You’ll start smelling the deliciousness as the kimchi cooks!
Step 5
And there you have it! A wonderfully crispy and moist kimchi pancake is ready. It’s best enjoyed immediately while warm. You can also serve it with a soy sauce-based dipping sauce if you like. I hope you all have great success making this!
