Steps
- 01
Cut 225g fermented kimchi into small pieces and chop all three scallions.
- 02
In a bowl mix kimchi, 2 tbsp brine, scallions, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup cold water until no dry flour remains.
- 03
Warm an approximately 30cm nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat evenly with 2 tbsp oil.
- 04
Add the batter and spread it evenly into a thin round. With a smaller pan, make two pancakes and divide the oil accordingly.
- 05
Cook approximately 3–5 minutes until the base is browned and crisp; gently shake the pan to check the edges release.
- 06
Carefully flip with a broad spatula, pour the remaining 2 tbsp oil around the edges and gently tilt to spread the oil under the pancake.
- 07
Cook the second side about 3–5 minutes until crisp. Flip once more for about one minute if needed so no raw-flour batter remains in the center.
- 08
Slide onto a plate, cut into two snack portions and serve immediately. Chill leftovers within two hours, use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 74°C.
Before you cook
Contains wheat from flour; packaged kimchi may contain fish sauce or salted shrimp, so check allergen labels. Fully cook both sides so no raw flour remains. Refrigerate within two hours, eat within 3–4 days and reheat leftovers to 74°C.
Allergens: wheat (flour), fish and/or crustacean shellfish possible in packaged kimchi; check brand labels
