Kimchi Jeon

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Water

3/4 cup

Egg

1, beaten

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon

Kimchi

1 cup, chopped

Green onions

1/2 cup, chopped

Vegetable oil

4 tablespoons (for frying)

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons (for dipping sauce)

Sesame oil

1 tablespoon (for dipping sauce)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, water, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a smooth batter forms.
2. Fold in the chopped kimchi and green onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Scoop a ladleful of the kimchi batter onto the skillet and gently spread it out to form a pancake, about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is also golden and crispy.
6. Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed for each pancake.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and sesame oil to create a simple dipping sauce.
8. Serve the kimchi jeon hot, accompanied by the dipping sauce on the side.
