Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour, egg, and 3 tbsp water in a bowl until just combined. Fold in kimchi and scallion.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Pour batter into two separate pancakes (or one large), pressing gently to flatten. Don't stir.

  4. Step 4

    Cook without moving until the bottom is deep golden and crispy, 3–4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Flip and cook the other side until golden, another 2–3 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a plate. Serve hot, optionally with soy sauce for dipping.
