13 steps
Prep:10minCook:5min
This Korean green onion pancake made with flour, scallions, kimchi, and egg is so nutritious and so easy to make. This is my lifesaver when I feel too lazy to cook but don't want to order takeout, because this pancake will only take me about 15 minutes to cook, and I always have these simple and healthy ingredients at home!
