HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

In a medium bowl, combine the drained tuna, chopped kimchi, all-purpose flour, water, egg, and 1 tablespoon of kimchi juice. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

02

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

03

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter per pancake into the hot skillet, forming 2-3 pancakes at a time. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.

04

Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the center is cooked through.

05

Remove pancakes from the skillet and place on a plate. Repeat with any remaining batter.

06

Serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping and garnish with sliced green onions.

Chef's Tips

For extra crispiness, ensure the skillet is hot before adding the batter and do not overcrowd the pan. Adjust the amount of kimchi for more or less spice.
