Rinse edible minari under running water, drain and cut into 5–7 cm pieces; slice optional red chili.
- 02
Gently mix minari, 1/2 cup pancake mix and 120 mL cold water, just enough to coat the greens.
- 03
Heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat; spread half the mixture thinly, cook around 2 minutes until golden underneath, then flip.
- 04
Cook the other side about 2 minutes. Repeat for the second pancake, ensuring no raw flour batter remains.
- 05
Mix 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp vinegar, 1 tbsp water, 1/2 tsp sugar and pepper as a dipping sauce; serve with the pancakes.
