Detailed recipeQuick recipe

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

2 cups Korean pancake mix
water, as needed
2 eggs
1/2 tbsp sesame oil
4 drops soy sauce
1/4 head well-fermented kimchi
6-8 shrimp
a little vinegar

Recipe 🍳

Combine the Korean pancake mix with water and eggs, mix until thick, then add sesame oil and soy sauce to make the batter.
Finely chop the well-fermented kimchi, and cut the shrimp diagonally into large pieces to enhance texture, then mix into the batter.
Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan, then spread the batter thinly into a suitable size.
When the bottom is crispy and cooked, flip it over, then gently tear the center to let oil seep in.
Cook until both sides are golden and crispy, then serve with a dipping sauce made by mixing vinegar and soy sauce.

Mix Korean pancake mix, water, eggs, sesame oil, and soy sauce to make a savory batter.
Add chopped kimchi and shrimp to the batter and mix well.
In a generously oiled pan, fry until crispy on both sides and serve with vinegared soy sauce.

Cooking tips 💡

Adding a little sesame oil and soy sauce to the batter eliminates the raw flour taste and maximizes savoriness.
After flipping the pancake, gently tearing the center allows oil to seep in, making it much crispier overall.
