Experience the ultimate holiday treat: chewy, tender, and incredibly savory pork and potato pancakes! This recipe is perfect for special occasions and family gatherings.
Main Ingredients- 1.5 cups ground pork
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 medium onion
- 1/5 carrot
- 5 Korean green chili peppers (adjust to spice preference)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for your delicious pork and potato pancakes. Ensuring freshness and proper preparation will significantly impact the final taste.
Step 2
Finely mince the ground pork. Dice the onion and carrot. For the Korean green chili peppers, remove the seeds and chop them finely to add a pleasant spiciness. Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater until smooth. This preparation ensures the ingredients mix evenly into the batter for a superior pancake.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes with the minced pork, diced onion, carrot, and chopped green chili peppers. Add the all-purpose flour (or pancake mix), coarse sea salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until a cohesive batter forms. If the batter seems too thin, add a little more flour; if it’s too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches a desirable consistency.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Spoon about one tablespoon of the batter onto the hot pan for each pancake, spreading it into a round, flat shape. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy. This ensures the pancakes are cooked through and have a delightful texture.
Step 5
Once golden brown and crispy, transfer the cooked pork and potato pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels. This step helps to absorb any excess oil, resulting in a lighter, less greasy dish.
Step 6
Arrange the drained pork and potato pancakes attractively on a serving platter. A side of soy dipping sauce (a simple mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and a splash of water) is highly recommended to balance the richness and enhance the flavors.
Step 7
Your chewy and savory pork and potato pancakes are now ready! Enjoy them immediately for the best texture and taste.
