  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, kimchi , kimchi juice, and green onions. Mix everything together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the batter.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons (28g) of vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, pour a ladleful of the kimchi pancake batter into the pan. Spread it evenly to form a round shape. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
  • Drizzle an additional 1 tablespoon (14g) of oil along the skillet's edges. Gently flip the pancake using a spatula and cook the other side for an extra 3-4 minutes until it's crispy and golden too. Continue this process until all the batter is used up.
  • In a small bowl, combine all the dipping sauce ingredients.
  • Remove the kimchi pancake from the skillet and cut it into smaller pieces. Serve it hot with the dipping sauce.
