Instructions

Step 1
1. Make the batter In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Add the egg, cold water, and 30 ml kimchi liquid. Whisk until smooth. The batter should be slightly thinner than pancake batter. 2. Add the fillings Stir in the chopped kimchi and scallions (plus any optional vegetables). Mix just until coated — do not overmix. 3. Fry the pancakes Heat 20–30 ml oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in half the batter and spread evenly into a thin layer. Cook for 3–4 minutes until golden and crispy underneath. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes until crisp. 4. Make the dipping sauce In a small bowl, combine all dipping sauce ingredients and stir well. 5. Serve Slice pancakes into wedges and serve hot with the dipping sauce.
