Today, we’re sharing Chef Im Seong-geun’s secret recipe for delicious cabbage pancakes that are easy to make, packed with flavor, and beneficial for your health. Try making crispy on the outside and tender on the inside cabbage pancakes with simple ingredients!
Main Ingredients- 150g fresh cabbage
- 100g ham
- 1/2 apple
- 2 Cheongyang peppers (or other spicy chili peppers)
- 1 red chili pepper (for color)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, briefly blanch the ham in boiling water to remove impurities and any gamey smell. Thinly shred the cabbage, removing the core. Core the apple and dice it into pieces similar in size or slightly smaller than the ham. Finely mince the Cheongyang peppers and red chili peppers to add spiciness and color. Prepare all ingredients by chopping them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, ham, diced apple, and minced peppers. Add the 2 eggs, then sprinkle in 1/3 cup each of tempura powder and pancake mix. Gradually add water while mixing until you achieve a pourable batter consistency. The batter should flow smoothly from a spoon but not be too watery.
Step 3
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Ladle about one scoop of the batter onto the hot pan and spread it thinly. Cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides. It’s important to cook over medium heat to ensure the inside is cooked through while the outside becomes delightfully crisp. Flip the pancake once the first side is golden and cook the other side until equally browned.
Step 4
Arrange the nicely cooked cabbage pancakes on a serving plate. For an enhanced flavor experience, serve with a side of soy-based dipping sauce or ketchup, according to your preference.
