HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and cold water until a smooth batter forms.

02

Add the chopped kimchi, drained tuna, kimchi juice, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the batter. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

03

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

04

Pour half of the batter into the hot skillet, spreading it evenly to form a round pancake. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.

05

Remove the first pancake from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet and repeat with the rest of the batter.

06

Once both pancakes are cooked, slice them into wedges and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra crispiness, ensure your skillet is hot before adding the batter. You can also add a pinch of sugar to the batter to balance the kimchi's tartness.
