Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter
    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, and salt. Slowly add the cold water while whisking to form a smooth batter. Add the beaten egg and kimchi juice, then mix until well incorporated.
  2. Add the kimchi and vegetables
    Fold in the chopped kimchi, sliced green onions, and onion. Stir gently until everything is evenly distributed in the batter. The consistency should be similar to a thick pancake batter - not too runny or too thick.
  3. Make the dipping sauce
    In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Stir well and set aside until ready to serve with the pancakes.
  4. Cook the pancakes
    Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour about 1/2 cup of the batter into the pan and spread it into a circle about 6-7 inches in diameter. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  5. Flip and finish cooking
    Carefully flip the pancake using a wide spatula. Add 1 tablespoon more oil around the edges of the pancake for extra crispiness. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
  6. Serve hot
    Transfer the pancake to a cutting board and cut into wedges. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve immediately while hot and crispy with the dipping sauce on the side.
