The Best Homemade Taste! Golden Recipe for Pork Kimchi Pancake
Enjoy a crispy exterior and moist interior with this hearty pork and kimchi pancake that will tantalize your taste buds! (The slightly browned kimchi might look burnt, but that’s the secret to its perfect crispy and tender texture!)
Main Ingredients- 1 large bowl of finely chopped kimchi (approx. 200g)
- 150g ground or finely chopped pork
- 5 Tbsp pancake mix (buchim garu)
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely chop the kimchi with its brine using scissors or a knife. Prepare the pork by chopping it into bite-sized pieces (ground or finely diced). Combine the chopped kimchi and pork in a large bowl.
Step 2
Add 5 tablespoons of pancake mix and a pinch of black pepper to the kimchi and pork in the bowl. Pour in 1 ladleful of kimchi brine; this will add a rich umami flavor and vibrant color to your pancake.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the batter. Start by mixing with the kimchi brine. If the mixture seems too thick, gradually add a little water until you reach the desired consistency. The batter should be pourable but not too watery – when lifted with chopsticks, it should flow off slowly. Be careful, as a batter that’s too thin can cause the pancake to tear.
Step 4
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, pour a ladleful of the batter onto the pan and spread it thinly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the edges of the pancake turn golden brown and the top begins to set. Then, carefully flip it over and cook the other side until it’s also golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook as needed until both sides are beautifully golden and crisp. Your delicious pork kimchi pancake is ready to be enjoyed!
