KIMCHIJEON (KIMCHI PANCAKE)



Kimchijeon (Kimchi Pancake) image

At Pyeong Chang Tofu House in Oakland, Calif., Young S. Kim's golden kimchijeon are a revelation. Tart with pungent kimchi, the pancakes are both satisfyingly chewy and shatteringly crisp. At the Tofu House, where Mrs. Kim turns 1,400 pounds of Napa cabbage into kimchi each month, her homemade kimchi is the secret to her kimchijeon's unsurpassed flavor. Use the most flavorful traditionally prepared kimchi you can find - it'll make all the difference in this simple recipe. This version, adapted from Mrs. Kim's original recipe, comes together quickly: Just combine kimchi and its juice with a few dry ingredients into a simple batter, then fry it in a cast-iron skillet into a mouth-watering pancake. Serve it to a crowd as an appetizer, or eat it on its own as a filling meal.

Time 15m

Yield 2 (10-inch) pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup citrus ponzu sauce
1 tablespoon toasted white sesame seeds
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of sea salt
1 heaping cup kimchi (about 10 ounces), plus 1/4 cup kimchi juice
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons gochujang
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fish sauce
3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine ponzu sauce, sesame seeds and scallion. Set aside.
  • Prepare the pancakes: In a large bowl, whisk together potato starch, flour, garlic powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • Dice kimchi into 1/2-inch pieces. In a medium bowl, stir together kimchi and kimchi juice, scallions, gochujang, sugar, fish sauce and 1/2 cup water. Add kimchi mixture to flour mixture, and stir to combine.
  • Set a 10-inch cast-iron pan over medium heat. When it's hot, add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. When oil shimmers, add half the batter, and spread from the center out to the edges of the pan. After about 1 minute, once you sense the pancake is setting, use a thin metal spatula to make sure pancake is not sticking. When the bottom of the pancake is brown and the top fades from glossy to matte, after another 30 to 60 seconds, carefully flip the pancake using the metal spatula. (Alternatively, slide the pancake onto a rimless plate, and flip it back into the pan.) Continue cooking for another 60 to 90 seconds on second side until set, then carefully slide pancake onto a plate.
  • Use remaining oil and batter to make a second pancake. Cut into wedges, and serve hot with dipping sauce.
