Cooking tips 💡

• If the peppers and onion are too dry, the flour won't stick, so it's best to coat them right after washing.
• Using Korean pancake mix adds a bit of seasoning and makes it slightly saltier.
• Adding water to the dipping sauce keeps it from being too salty, making it perfect for generous dipping.
• Adding just a tiny bit of gochujang adds depth of flavor.
