🙋 Recommended for

  • For those who want to use up a large amount of leftover cabbage deliciously.
  • For those who want to enjoy a simple, high-quality izakaya-style snack at home.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1/4 head cabbage
  • 1/2 onion
  • 3–4 strips bacon
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup Korean pancake mix
  • 1/3 cup water
  • Tonkatsu sauce, as needed
  • Mayonnaise, as needed
  • A handful of bonito flakes

Recipe 🍳

  1. Roughly chop or shred the cabbage and onion into bite-size pieces and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Cut the bacon into bite-size pieces as well, add them to the bowl, and crack in one egg.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of Korean pancake mix and 1/3 cup of water, and toss gently just until the ingredients are lightly bound together.
  4. Generously oil a frying pan, then place the batter in a thick, round layer and spread it out.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook through using the internal heat so the inside becomes moist and cooked.
  6. Once the bottom is golden, flip it all at once using a large plate or spatula, then cook the other side until golden.
  7. Transfer to a plate, drizzle tonkatsu sauce and mayonnaise in a zigzag pattern, top with bonito flakes, and serve.
  1. Mix shredded vegetables, bacon, egg, Korean pancake mix, and water to make a batter.
  2. Place a thick layer in an oiled pan, cover, and cook over low heat, flipping once to cook both sides.
  3. Finish with tonkatsu sauce, mayonnaise, and bonito flakes.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Because this is a thick pancake, high heat will burn the outside before the inside cooks, so you must use low heat and a lid.
  • If flipping is difficult, place a plate larger than the pan over the pancake, invert the pan completely, then slide the pancake back into the pan—this keeps the shape intact.
  • Replacing the bacon with seafood like squid or shrimp will give it a richer ocean flavor.
