What the hell is a Kimchi pancake?
Kimchi pancake is a savory pancake commonly made with wheat flour, a bit
of seasoning and the most important ingredient -
loads of kimchi! The Korean name for kimchi pancakes is
Kimchi Buchimgae (김치 부침개), but some people might also call it Kimchi
Jeon (김치전). Kimchi pancakes are super easy to make and very
versatile. They are easily adapted with various ingredients such as ground
meat for the meat lovers out there or other vegetables and chili paste
(gochujang) for those who perfer a vegan-friendly option. The
pancakes are occasionally served with a dipping sauce on the side and may
come sprinkled with sesame seeds. They are usually enjoyed as a quick,
filling snack or an appetizer, but they can also be served as a main
course or a side dish.
