Cooking tips 💡

• Searing the meat and ham in a pan first, then adding them with their rendered fat, doubles the savory flavor compared to adding them raw to the batter.
• Overmixing the batter develops gluten and makes it chewy like rice cake, so stir lightly with a spoon or chopsticks.
• For crispy edges, fry the kimchi pancake over high heat with plenty of oil, as if deep-frying, rather than over medium-low heat.
