In a bowl, add 1 bag of potato pancake mix and 500ml of water, and mix evenly.
Instead of using the batter immediately, let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the starch to swell and thicken.
Wash the chives thoroughly and cut them into short, bite-sized pieces.
Clean the squid by removing the innards, then finely mince the entire squid, including the tentacles.
Add the prepared chives and minced squid to the thickened potato pancake batter and mix. (No additional seasoning is added.)
Heat a frying pan with plenty of cooking oil, spread the batter thinly and evenly.
Since the squid needs to be cooked through, reduce the heat to medium after adding the batter and cook.
Once the bottom is golden brown all over, flip it over and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes to finish.

Mix potato pancake mix with water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the batter becomes sticky.
Add the chopped chives and minced squid to the batter and mix well.
Spread the batter on a pan with plenty of oil and pan-fry until golden brown on both sides over medium heat.

Cooking tips

The potato pancake mix needs to sit in water for at least 5 minutes to achieve a chewy texture similar to freshly grated potatoes.
Since seafood like squid is included, cooking only over high heat can burn the outside while leaving the inside undercooked. Therefore, controlling the medium heat is crucial.
As this recipe does not include salt, it is recommended to dip the finished pancake in a dipping sauce made of vinegar and soy sauce.
