Pancake Ingredients- 1 cup pancake mix
- 3/4 cup water (using a standard paper cup for measurement)
- 1 egg
- 2 cups well-fermented kimchi, finely chopped
- A handful of rehydrated wood ear mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 stalk green onion, finely chopped
- 2 Korean chili peppers (Cheongyang chili peppers), thinly sliced diagonally (adjust to your spice preference)
- Plenty of cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of pancake mix and 3/4 cup of water. Whisk them together until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps to create your pancake batter. Using a standard paper cup for measurement will make this easier.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped kimchi to the batter and mix well. The tangy flavor of the kimchi will greatly enhance the pancake’s taste.
Step 3
Chop the rehydrated wood ear mushrooms into bite-sized pieces and add them to the batter. This is the secret tip! The distinct chewy and slightly crunchy texture of the wood ear mushrooms will make your pancake exceptionally delicious.
Step 4
To the batter with kimchi and wood ear mushrooms, add the finely chopped green onion and the diagonally sliced Korean chili peppers. Finally, crack in 1 egg and mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Step 5
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Ladle the kimchi pancake batter onto the hot pan and spread it out thinly to your desired size. Cooking over medium-high heat will ensure the outside is crispy while the inside remains moist.
Step 6
Once one side is golden brown and the edges begin to lift slightly, carefully flip the pancake. Cook the other side until it is also golden brown.
Step 7
You can make one large pancake to fill the pan, or several smaller ones. Once both sides are perfectly golden brown, your delicious Wood Ear Mushroom Kimchi Pancake with its delightful crunchy texture is ready to be enjoyed!
