- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Batter consistency. Pancake batter should not be too thick. For beautiful crispy pancakes, batter consistency is important. Make batter to easily pourable consistency.
- Fermented kimchi is a must. It’s important to use fermented kimchi. Kimchi fermented for at least 2-3 weeks. Fermented kimchi has more flavors.
- Extra kick. Gochugaru or Korean chili flakes add little heat to pancakes which is very much required to get well-balanced tasting pancakes. If you don’t have gochugaru, you can use fresh red chili instead.
- Chilled batter. It’s crucial to keep the batter chilled if you want crispy pancakes. You can also add 2-3 ice cubes along with chilled water to keep the batter chilled.
- Wait before you flip the pancake. Wait for the bottom of the pancake to be cooked and the top of the pancake is not wet. The top of the pancake should be partially cooked before you flip, this way pancake will not break while flipping.
