Kimchijeon (kimchi Pancakes)
  1. Thinly slice the kimchi, about ½-inch thick. Cut the scallions into about 2-inch pieces. If the white part is thick, cut in half lengthwise. Thinly slice the onion.

  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour (or pancake mix) with the liquid from kimchi, the optional gochujang/gochugaru and egg, and water, a little bite at a time. Start with dissolving the gochujang with water, and mix everything together. Do not over mix.

  3. Add a little more water if the batter is too thick. The batter should flow easily from a spoon.

  4. Stir in the kimchi, scallions, onion and the optional protein of your choice.

  5. Heat one tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Ladle the mixture into the pan, and spread it evenly into a thin round shape. Cook until the edges turn light golden brown, about 3 minutes.

  6. Turn it over, and add more oil to the sides of the pan. Gently swirl the pan to distribute the oil under the pancakes. Press the pancake down with a spatula. Cook until the other side is nicely browned and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes.

  7. Repeat the process until there is no remaining batter. Serve hot with a dipping sauce, if desired.
