Ingredients- 100g pancake mix
- 30g tempura flour
- 200g well-fermented napa cabbage kimchi
- 30g kimchi juice
- 120ml carbonated water
- 100g canned tuna, drained
- 1 egg
- Plenty of cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine 100g of pancake mix and 30g of tempura flour. Whisk them together until well combined. Adding tempura flour helps achieve an extra crispy texture.
Step 2
Pour 120ml of carbonated water into the bowl. We’re using a little less carbonated water because we’ll be adding kimchi juice later. Carbonated water makes the batter lighter and results in a crispier pancake.
Step 3
Add 1 beaten egg to the batter and mix thoroughly until smooth. The egg adds a lovely richness and helps bind the ingredients.
Step 4
Stir in 30g of kimchi juice. This will add a wonderful tangy flavor and a vibrant color to the pancake. Adjust the amount of kimchi juice based on the saltiness and sourness of your kimchi.
Step 5
Add 200g of finely chopped, well-fermented kimchi to the batter. Mix gently with a spatula or spoon until the kimchi is evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing to keep the kimchi nice and crisp.
Step 6
Ensure the 100g of canned tuna is thoroughly drained of oil. Add the drained tuna to the batter and mix it in with the kimchi. The tuna adds a wonderful savory depth and richness to the pancake.
Step 7
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Ladle the tuna kimchi batter onto the hot pan. Spread it thinly using the back of the ladle to ensure it cooks evenly and becomes crispy.
Step 8
Cook over medium heat until the edges turn golden brown and crispy. Drizzle a little more oil around the edges as needed. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Adding oil gradually helps achieve that perfect crispiness.
Step 9
Your delicious Tuna Kimchi Pancake is ready! Serve hot and enjoy the delightful combination of crispy exterior, tender interior, savory tuna, and tangy kimchi. Perfect for any occasion!
