Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using ice water in the batter suppresses gluten development, resulting in a much crispier texture.
  • Adding a small amount of sand lance fish sauce enhances the umami depth of the sour kimchi and balances the seasoning well.
  • Before flipping, lightly sift a little tempura flour onto the top surface—this creates a crisp crust that mimics frying when flipped.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a kimchi pancake that’s crispy not just around the edges but all the way through the center.
  • Fans of rich, savory kimchi pancakes with a satisfying chew from seafood.
  • Anyone seeking the late-night snack that pairs well with makgeolli.
