Pancake Batter

Method

Pancake Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, water, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Kimchi and Vegetables

    Chop the kimchi into small pieces and add it to the batter along with the chopped green onions and Korean red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Sesame Oil

    Drizzle the sesame oil into the batter and mix until evenly distributed.

Cooking the Pancake

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Pancake

    Pour half of the batter into the heated skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to crisp and the bottom is golden brown.

  3. 6

    Flip and Finish Cooking

    Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

  4. 7

    Repeat

    Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
