Steps
- 01
Rinse the green peppers under running water, remove stems, halve, remove seeds as desired and finely chop.
- 02
Mix 100 g flour and 150 mL water until smooth. Stir in 30 mL gochujang until evenly colored.
- 03
Fold the chopped peppers into the batter. Do not add salt initially; gochujang already varies in saltiness.
- 04
Lightly oil a frying pan over medium-low heat. Drop one large spoonful of batter at a time and spread each into a separate small circle.
- 05
When the edges set and the underside browns, flip. Cook the other side until the middle has no raw batter; timing depends on thickness. Avoid high heat, which can scorch the paste.
- 06
Serve warm on a plate. Refrigerate leftovers promptly and reheat thoroughly before eating.
Before you cook
Check wheat and soy allergens in flour and gochujang labels. Fry over medium-low heat until the center is fully cooked. Refrigerate within 2 hours at 4°C/40°F or below, use within 3–4 days and reheat to 74°C/165°F.
Allergens: wheat/gluten, soybeans (typically in gochujang; confirm label)
