Kimchi pancakes served w/ sesame carrot salad and dipping sauce

 

Forget about the maple syrup (Or not. Not here to judge. Just let us know how it goes.) we’re going savoury for these bad boys. We’ve written about Korean and Japanese pancakes enough, time to show you how we go about it.

Method 

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, starch and salt. Add the water and mix with a wooden spoon.
    2. Add the kimchi, mushrooms and spring onion
  2. Heat up a pan with oil on medium heat.
  3. Spoon some of the mixture into the pan to your desired sized pancakes. Cook until golden on both sides and pancakes are not squishy when lightly pressing. They won’t quite spring back like a regular pancake due to the lack of raising agent, so if you are unsure you might just have to taste test the first one. Shame!
