Ingredients
- 8 young napa cabbage leaves
- 1 cup Korean pancake mix (buchimgaru) see note below for homemade recipe
- 2 tbsp Potato Starch or cornstarch
- 2 tbsp dried baby shrimp or 1 tsp Korean anchovy sauce
- 1 cup ice water
- 4 tbsp oil or more if needed
Dipping Sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar or white vinegar
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tbsp Korean chili flakes (gochugaru) optional
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- Cut a 1-2 inch slit in the center of the cabbage stem with a knife or kitchen scissors so the leaves lay flat when pressed down. If needed, pound the stem with a heavy object.
- Combine all the pancake batter ingredients and stir together. The consistency should be thin and slightly runny. Adjust the amount of ice water as needed. 3. Crush dried shrimp with your hands or chop them finely with a knife. Add the crushed shrimp into the wet batter and stir well.
- One at a time, dip the napa cabbage leaves into the wet batter, allowing the excess batter to drip off.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Place the battered napa cabbage leaf in the pan and gently press it down with a spatula to flatten the leaf. Fry the cabbage for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the edges get crispy. Drizzle more oil around the cabbage if needed. Do not flip the pancakes back and forth.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with Korean pancake dipping sauce and enjoy while they're hot. If the leaves are large, you can cut them into bite-sized pieces or use chopsticks to tear them.
