Super Simple Sumi’s Side Dish Kimchi Pancake, Revealing the Secret to Crispiness!
Let’s make the Kimchi Pancake recipe introduced on Sumi’s Side Dish in a super simple version! We’ll share everything you need to make a crispy kimchi pancake at home. Fall in love with the charm of a kimchi pancake that’s crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
Main Ingredients- 2 cups well-fermented kimchi
- 1 cup pancake mix (buchim garu)
- 1/3 cup kimchi brine
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, place the kimchi in a bowl and chop it finely using scissors. While the broadcast sometimes emphasizes using the crunchy stems, I like to mix both the leafy parts and stems for a balanced texture, enjoying both the crispiness and softness.
Step 2
To the chopped kimchi, add 1 cup of pancake mix. Then, pour in about 1/3 cup of kimchi brine. Don’t forget to add half a tablespoon of minced garlic – this is one of Sumi’s Side Dish secrets! Adding minced garlic significantly deepens and enriches the savory flavor of the kimchi pancake.
Step 3
Now, it’s time to add 2/3 cup of water and mix the batter. It’s crucial to adjust the water amount while mixing to achieve the right consistency. If the batter seems too thick, gradually add a little more water until you reach a smooth, slightly runny consistency. Whisk vigorously with a whisk or spoon until there are no lumps.
Step 4
Heat a pan generously with cooking oil. Ladle a portion of the prepared batter onto the hot pan, spreading it into a round shape. Cook over medium-low heat, flipping occasionally, until both sides are golden brown and crispy. This is the key to achieving that satisfying crispiness. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning.
Step 5
Once beautifully golden and crispy, transfer the kimchi pancake to a plate. Congratulations, you’ve made a delicious kimchi pancake that’s crispy on the outside and wonderfully moist inside! It’s best enjoyed warm. You can also serve it with a side of soy sauce-based dipping sauce for extra flavor. ♥
