Cooking tips
- Removing the kimchi juice ensures the pancake won't be greasy or heavy, resulting in a clean, refreshing flavor.
- Using cold water is essential—it suppresses gluten development, leading to a much crispier result.
- Avoid making the pancakes too large, as trapped steam can cause the center to become soggy; keeping them palm-sized prevents failure.
- When using regular flour instead of tempura or pancake flour, adding a bit more seafood dashi significantly enhances the savory depth.
Recommended for
- Those who want their entire pancake, including the edges, to be perfectly crispy and crunchy.
- Home cooks looking to enjoy a restaurant-quality, savory kimchi pancake with minimal effort.
