Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 20m

Yield 3 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon vinegar
1/4 teaspoon minced scallion
1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1 egg
2 scallions, cut into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, sliced thinly
1 1/2 tablespoons Korean red pepper powder or 1/2 tablespoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup prepared cabbage kimchi, cut in 3-inch-long pieces
2 tablespoons kimchi juice
6 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Make dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, scallion, sesame seeds and one-half tablespoon water. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour, potato starch and egg until smooth. Add scallions, garlic, red pepper powder, salt, kimchi and its juice. Mix well. Batter will be pale pink.
  • Place an 8- or 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. When oil is hot, pour in one-third of the pancake batter. Fry until golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Lift pancake with a spatula, add 1 tablespoon oil to pan and swirl it. Flip pancake and fry other side until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip again, without adding oil, and fry for 1 minute. Flip one more time and fry 1 to 2 minutes. Pancake should be dark gold.
  • Repeat with remaining batter and oil, making 3 pancakes. Remove to a large round plate and cut each pancake into 6 wedges. Serve with dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your kimchi pancake. Look for kimchi that is bright red and has a slightly sour smell. You can also make your own kimchi at home if you have the time.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancake tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the pancake over medium heat. This will help it to cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pancake carefully. Kimchi pancakes are delicate, so be careful not to break them when you flip them.
  • Serve the pancake with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include soy sauce, vinegar, and chili sauce.

Conclusion:

Kimchi pancake is a delicious and easy-to-make Korean dish that is perfect for a quick meal or snack. With its crispy exterior and flavorful interior, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give kimchi pancake a try.
