1

Prepare the Pancake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of water, and 1/4 cup of kimchi juice until well combined. The batter should have a smooth consistency without any lumps.

2

Add the Kimchi and Additional Ingredients

Chop 1 cup of kimchi into small pieces and add it to the pancake batter. Mix in 1/4 cup of thinly sliced scallions, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil. Feel free to add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicier kick.

3

Heat the Pan and Add Oil

Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Make sure the oil coats the entire surface of the pan.

4

Cook the Pancakes

Once the pan is hot, spoon about 1/4 cup of the kimchi pancake batter onto the pan per pancake. Use the back of the spoon to spread the batter into a circle shape, about 4-5 inches in diameter. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes turn golden brown and crispy.

5

Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the cooked kimchi pancakes onto a serving plate and garnish with additional sliced scallions, if desired. Serve them hot with a dipping sauce made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a dash of sesame oil. Dive into these delectable treats and let the flavors dance on your tongue!
