Kimchi Pancakes

Directions

Ingredients :

1 (12 ounce) jar kimchi

1 large egg

¼ cup water

1 teaspoon brown sugar

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon sesame oil

½ cup thinly sliced green onions

¾ cup all-purpose flour

or as needed

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

4 tablespoons bonito flakes (Optional)

Methods :

Drain kimchi thoroughly through a sieve and reserve the juice. Chop kimchi finely.

Combine egg, 3 tablespoons kimchi juice, water, brown sugar, salt, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Whisk together. Add green onions and kimchi. Stir in flour just until combined.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a few spoonfuls of pancake batter; any size pancake will do. Cook until edges are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer pancake to a serving plate and repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle bonito flakes on top.
