Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Buckwheat flour tends to be brittle due to low starch content, so adding a bit of potato starch maintains its rich aroma while significantly boosting chewiness.
  • The batter must not be too thick—this ensures it spreads thinly and evenly across the pan.
  • Excess seasoning from aged kimchi can burn or overpower the flavor during cooking, so remove chili powder with your hands and squeeze out all moisture before using.
  • High heat causes the batter to clump or burn quickly, so always cook on low heat to preserve the desired chewy texture.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a traditional, comforting taste that pairs perfectly with makgeolli on a rainy day.
  • Anyone who wants to experience the harmonious contrast of crisp aged kimchi and chewy buckwheat batter.
