Description
Savory Kimchi Pancakes served with a flavorful soy dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups water
- 1 cup kimchi, finely chopped
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
- ¼ cup soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for dipping sauce)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (for dipping sauce)
- 1 teaspoon sugar (for dipping sauce)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (for dipping sauce)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for dipping sauce)
Instructions
- In a spacious bowl, mix together the flour and water until smooth. Stir in the chopped kimchi, sliced green onions, egg, salt, and black pepper until just combined; the mixture should retain some lumps for texture.
- Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, pour in half of the batter and spread it into a round shape.
- Allow the pancake to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until the edges turn crispy and the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until both sides are nicely browned. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as necessary to prevent sticking.
- Meanwhile, prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic, and sesame seeds in a small bowl until well blended.
- Serve the warm pancakes alongside the soy dipping sauce for a delightful treat.
Notes
- For an extra kick, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) into the batter.
- Feel free to enhance the pancakes by incorporating additional vegetables such as grated carrots or zucchini for added flavor and nutrition.
