Cooking tips

Using a combination of bread flour and rice flour instead of tempura flour results in a much crispier texture that lasts longer.
If the kimchi lacks sourness, add a splash of vinegar; if you need more depth or seasoning, a touch more mackerel fish sauce will enhance the savory flavor.
Gently tearing the center of the jeon while cooking allows the uncooked batter to flow through the holes, creating an evenly crisp result all around.

Recommended for

Those who want to successfully make kimchi jeon with a perfectly crisp edge, just like a snack.
People looking for a rich, savory appetizer packed with plenty of squid for a satisfying chew.
