It’s a charming dish perfect as a side for rice or as a snack with drinks.
Key Ingredients
- 400g Kimchi (fermented kimchi recommended)
- 1/2 cup Stir-fry Anchovies
- 1 cup Frozen Seafood Mix (shrimp, squid, etc.)
- 2 cups All-purpose flour or Pancake Mix
- Cooking oil (soybean oil, canola oil, etc.), generously
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely chop the kimchi into bite-sized pieces. Using well-fermented kimchi will add a richer flavor. Add the stir-fry anchovies to the chopped kimchi and mix them together. Ensure the anchovies are well coated with the kimchi seasoning.
Step 2
Thaw the frozen seafood mix by soaking it in cold water. Then, drain it thoroughly in a sieve to remove excess water. Excess water can make the batter too thin, so be sure to drain it well. Add the thawed seafood to the bowl with the kimchi and anchovies.
Step 3
Now, add the pancake mix or all-purpose flour and gradually pour in water while mixing to achieve the right batter consistency. The batter should not be too watery; it should be thick enough to spread thinly on the pan. Since the kimchi and anchovies are already seasoned, no additional seasoning is needed. The seafood and flour will balance the flavors perfectly.
Step 4
Once the batter is ready, heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Use plenty of oil to ensure the pancake cooks up crispy and doesn’t stick to the pan. Pour a ladleful of the prepared batter onto the hot pan and spread it out thinly and widely.
Step 5
Cook slowly over medium heat. This allows the pancake to cook evenly inside and become crispy without burning. When the bottom side is golden brown and crisp, carefully flip it over. Flipping when the cooked side is visibly crisp will help maintain its shape. Cook the other side until equally crisp. For a delicious kimchi pancake, using ample oil is key.
Step 6
Your Crispy Kimchi Anchovy Seafood Pancake is now complete! It boasts a wonderfully crisp exterior with a moist interior. The satisfying crunch of the anchovies interspersed with the savory kimchi and seafood creates a truly delicious experience. It offers a distinct texture and flavor different from seafood-only pancakes. Enjoy your delightful meal with this fantastic pancake!
