For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) to the batter. Feel free to customize your pancakes with leftover cooked meat or vegetables. Thinly sliced pork belly or sautéed mushrooms would be excellent additions. Serve these kimchi pancakes with a drizzle of spicy mayo (a mixture of mayonnaise and sriracha) for an extra kick. They're also delicious served alongside a fried egg or grilled meat. Make sure your pan is hot before adding the batter. This helps achieve the desired crispy texture. Adjust the amount of flour depending on the moisture content of your kimchi. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape but not too stiff.

Follow The Directions
01
StepDrain the kimchi thoroughly using a sieve, reserving the flavorful juice. Finely chop the kimchi and set aside. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the egg, water, 3 tablespoons of the reserved kimchi juice, brown sugar, salt, and sesame oil until well combined. (3 minutes)
03
StepGently fold in the chopped kimchi and sliced green onions. Gradually add the flour, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy. (5 minutes)
04
StepHeat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. (2 minutes)
05
StepSpoon a few spoonfuls of batter onto the hot skillet, creating individual pancakes. (2 minutes)
06
StepCook the pancakes in the hot oil until the edges are lightly browned and the bottom is crispy, about 3 minutes. (3 minutes)
07
StepFlip the pancakes carefully and cook until the other side is golden brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes more. (3 minutes)
08
StepTransfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate and repeat with the remaining batter. (5 minutes)
09
StepSprinkle generously with bonito flakes just before serving. The heat from the pancakes will make the bonito flakes dance and add a delightful smoky flavor. (1 minute)
