For extra crispy pancakes, use a cast-iron skillet. If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water until it reaches a pourable consistency. Feel free to add other vegetables to the batter, such as shredded carrots or zucchini. Adjust the amount of chili pepper flakes in the dipping sauce to your preferred spice level. These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in a skillet or microwave.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, combine the chopped kimchi, kimchi juice, flour, eggs, and sliced green onion. Mix well until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully pour approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake, spreading thinly with the back of a spoon. (2 minutes)
03
StepCook the pancakes for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the center is cooked through. Flip carefully with a spatula. (6-10 minutes)
04
StepSeason to taste with a pinch of sea salt while the pancakes are still hot. (1 minute)
05
StepIn a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili pepper flakes, and toasted sesame seeds until well combined. (2 minutes)
06
StepServe the kimchi pancakes immediately with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy! (1 minute)
