Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 appetizer servings (3 pancakes)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar, optional
Pinch of hot red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour or rice flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup very finely chopped vegetables asparagus, broccoli, green beans, scallions or chopped cooked leftover meat chicken, beef, pork or both

Steps:

  • For dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar (if using) and red pepper flakes. Mix well and set aside.
  • For pancakes: Fill a pitcher or glass with ice and 1/2 cup or more cold water; set aside. Place a small (6- to 8-inch) nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium-low heat. Coat bottom with vegetable oil and allow to heat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs just until frothy. Add flour and salt and whisk to combine. Add vegetables or meat and stir to blend. Add 1/2 cup ice water and mix again to blend.
  • Fill a 1/2-cup measuring cup with batter; pour into hot pan. Allow to sit until browned and crispy on bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip pancake and cook another 2 minutes. Place on a serving plate and keep warm (or set aside to serve at room temperature). Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with dipping sauce, tearing or cutting off pieces of pancake to dip in sauce with fingers or chopsticks.

I'm not a big fan of Korean food, but these pancakes look really good. I might have to give them a try.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pancakes turned out flat and doughy. I'm going to try making them again and see if I can get them right.

These pancakes were a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try making them again with less oil.

These pancakes were delicious! I made them for my family and they loved them. They were so easy to make, and they were a great way to use up some leftover vegetables.

I've been making these pancakes for years, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so easy to make, and they're always a hit at parties or potlucks.

These Korean pancakes were a hit at my dinner party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with a delicious savory flavor. I served them with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil, and they were perfect.
