Ttukdak Hyung's Gamja-chip Kimchijeon

A supremely crispy, unique pancake made by topping a spicy kimchi batter with crushed potato chips and pan-frying until golden and crunchy.

🙋 Recommended for

  • ⭐ Those who want to enjoy the crispy edges of a kimchi pancake throughout the entire pancake.
  • ⭐ Those who need a unique and fun fusion appetizer to serve guests instead of the usual kimchi pancake.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 paper cup finely chopped kimchi
  • 1 paper cup Korean pancake mix
  • 3/4 paper cup water
  • 1/2 bag store-bought potato chips
  • Plenty of cooking oil

Recipe 🍳

  1. In a bowl, combine finely chopped aged kimchi, pancake mix, and cold water. Mix well with a spatula until smooth to make the basic kimchi pancake batter.
  2. Pour a generous amount of oil into a pan—much more than usual for pancakes—and heat over high heat until shimmering.
  3. Ladle the batter into the hot pan, spreading it thinly and widely.
  4. Before the top of the batter dries from the heat, generously sprinkle crushed potato chips all over the surface, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. When the bottom is firm and golden, carefully flip the pancake. Continue cooking until the chip side is also fried and crispy, like deep-fried.
  1. Mix chopped kimchi, pancake mix, and water to make batter.
  2. Spread batter thinly in a pan with plenty of oil, then top generously with crushed potato chips.
  3. Flip and cook both sides until golden and crispy, frying the chip side like deep-frying.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Don't skimp on oil—use enough to fry the chips, giving them an ultra-crispy texture.
  • Spread the batter as thin as possible to avoid a soggy center; this is key to success.
