Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s get started on making a crispy, tender, and delicious Scallion Kimchi Pancake. This recipe is perfect for special occasions or even a regular day!
Step 2
First, we’ll prepare the batter, which is key to a great pancake. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of pancake mix. Gradually add 1/2 cup of water while whisking, until you achieve a smooth batter with no lumps. The consistency should be pourable but not too thin – it should flow like a thick syrup. Adjust by adding a little more water if it’s too thick, or a bit more flour if it’s too runny.
Step 3
Now, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Ladle about one portion of the batter into the hot pan and spread it thinly into a circle. Once the batter starts to set, arrange one piece of kimchi (chopped if desired) on top, followed by the clean, trimmed scallions. To ensure the ingredients stick and the pancake cooks evenly and crisply, gently brush a little more batter over the kimchi and scallions. This step helps hold everything together when you flip the pancake.
Step 4
Cook over medium heat until both sides are golden brown and crispy, ensuring the kimchi is cooked through and the scallions are wilted. Once the bottom is nicely browned and crisp, carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until it’s also golden and crispy. You’ll have a delicious Scallion Kimchi Pancake with a perfect balance of spicy kimchi and fresh scallions! Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor.
