Ingredients

  • 450 g kimchi (chopped into small pieces)
  • 2 scallions (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp kimchi brine
  • 0.5 cup plain flour
  • 0.5 cup water
  • 4 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Chop the kimchi into small pieces and set aside in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the kimchi brine, chopped scallions, flour and water to the kimchi and mix well with a wooden spoon.
  • Heat a non stick pan over a medium fire, Add two tablespoons of oil and ensure that the pan is coated well. Depending on the size of your pan, you may be able to make 1 big or 2 small pancakes.
  • Pour the kimchi mixture into the centre of the pan and start spreading it outwards like a pancake.
  • Listen out for the sizzling of the pancake and cook for 3-5 minutes till it is crispy.
  • Flip your pancake carefully - you can use a wide frying slice to help or toss it if you are confident! Drizzle the rest of the oil around the pancake and lift at the sides to allow oil to flow to the entire pan.
  • Cook for another 3-5 mins till golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve immediate and enjoy!
