KIMCHIJEON (KIMCHI PANCAKE)
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.

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.

Steps:
- Make the anchovy and kelp broth: In a medium pot, combine the water, dried anchovies, and kelp. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to medium low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes. Strain the broth and discard the solids. Set the broth aside until ready to use.
- Make the kimchi jjigae: Heat the vegetable oil in a medium pot over high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and pork belly and cook until the onions soften and the pork is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the drained, chopped kimchi and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly darkened.
- Add the Korean chile flakes, sugar, salt, reserved kimchi juice, and anchovy and kelp broth and stir well to combine.
- Lay the tofu and mushrooms on top of the soup and gently stir to submerge in the broth (do not break up the tofu). Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and season the soup with more salt to taste.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the green onion and sesame oil. Serve with white rice, if desired.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh kimchi: Fresh kimchi has a more vibrant flavor and texture than older kimchi. If you don't have fresh kimchi, you can use store-bought kimchi, but be sure to rinse it well before using.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pancakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Serve kimchi pancakes with your favorite dipping sauce: Kimchi pancakes are traditionally served with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil. You can also serve them with a spicy sauce, such as gochujang sauce.
Conclusion:
Kimchi pancakes are a delicious and versatile Korean dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So experiment with different ingredients and find your favorite way to enjoy kimchi pancakes!
