Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil for frying
- 1 green onion finely chopped for optional garnish
Pancake Batter:
- 1 cup kimchi well fermented kind
- 2 green onions finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon onion finely diced
- ¼ cup Potato Starch or cornstarch/tapioca starch
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon white granulated sugar
- ½ cup water very cold
Instructions
- On a cutting board, finely chop kimchi. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- To your large bowl of kimchi, add remaining pancake batter ingredients. Mix until it's combined. Do not over mix.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan (around 10-11 inches wide) on medium heat. Swirl the hot oil around the pan and then pour in the batter. Evenly spread the batter out with a spatula into a thin pancake. (Alternatively, if you want to make smaller pancakes, scoop one cup of the batter to fry and reduce the frying time to 2-3 minutes per side).
- Fry until the bottom of the pancake is golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Then loosen the sides with a spatula. When the pancake is ready to flip, you should be able to slide it around easily. Flip pancake over with the widest spatula you have or slide the pancake onto a plate and flip the pancake back into your pan. Pour remaining oil around the edges and fry on the other side until golden and crispy, another 3-4 minutes.
- Remove off heat. Transfer to a cutting board to slice or cut with clean kitchen scissors. Garnish with more green onions and enjoy!
