RECIPE INSTRUCTION

In a large mixing bowl, add the pancake powder mix. Using a whisk, slowly add some (a 1/4 cup at a time) of the 2 cups of room-temperature water to the powder mix. The key is to slowly add a little water to the powder mix. Mix well until the wet batter mix is free of lumps and the consistency is thicker than runny, as shown in the video. You can also test for it's consistency by making a line across the back of a spoon (dipped in the wet batter) using your finger. You should see a clean line. If the line runs, add some more powder mix to thicken.


To spare yourself the agony of cleaning your cutting board, drenched in Kimchi juice, cut the Kimchi on a large plate using scissors, as shown in the video. Add the cut-up Kimchi, white onion, scallion, and Kimchi juice to the wet batter mix. If you want your Kimchi Pancakes to come out extra red, and spicer, add more Kimchi juice. But remember, if you add more Kimchi juice, your Kimchi pancakes will also get a bit saltier.


How To Avoid Cooking Soggy Pancakes

First, try to use a heavy bottom non-stick frying pan, to ensure even heat distribution. Secondly, preheat your frying pan. Not properly heating the frying pan is one of the main reasons why some pancakes come out soggy. As shown in the video, you can test to see if your frying pan is properly heated, by sprinkling some droplet so water. If ready, the droplets of water should sizzle and disappear in 3 to 5 seconds. If not ready, the droplets will hang out there and just kind of bubble and steam.


Preheat your frying pan by turning on the stove heat to high for 2 minutes or so, and do the test above. Turn down the stove heat to medium or medium-high (this will depend on your stove heat power). Add 2 to 3 Tbsp of olive oil. Then add the wet batter and make it the size you prefer. For easier flipping, don't make the pancake more than 12" wide. Let it cook for 2 to 4 minutes (again, this depends on your stove heat power) and keep an eye on it. Move the frying pan around to rotate and evenly distribute the oil. Cook the pancake until it is light-golden-brown. About 2 minutes later, take a peek and check on its light-golden-brown color readiness. When ready to turn over the pancake, take your spatula and go underneath the pancake, across the pancake, quickly lift and turnover. Cook the second side for 2 to 4 minutes (again, this depends on your stove heat power, and you might need to raise the heat a bit more or lower the heat a bit more). The key is to make sure that your stove heat is sufficient to cook the pancakes so it is light-golden-brown, NOT scorched to dark brown color OR too low of heat that it gets soggy, instead of cooking the pancake.


FRYING TIP

In between each pancake, wipe down the pan of the leftover batter residue, using a wet paper towel (squeeze out the excess water first before using). If you let the small pieces of the batter residue in the pan, it will continue to cook and turn black. Then these black specs of residue will stick to your pancake which not only aesthetically not appealing but will add that burnt taste to your pancake.


To Make The Dipping Sauce

Combine all the ingredients. Mix well and enjoy it! You can make this less salty by adding more water. Alternatively, you can make it saltier by adding less water and adding finely minced scallions to make a thicker dipping sauce. You can make this sauce, days in advance and store in the refrigerator.
