Ingredients

  • 1 cup cabbage kimchi drained and chopped
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 cup all-purpose white flour
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 cup ice water
  • 4 ounces mild pork sausage or ground pork
  • 2-3 green onions thinly sliced crosswise
  • Cooking oil
  • Simple dipping sauce recipe below

Instructions

  • Blot the drained kimchi with a paper towel to soak up the excess liquid.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together egg, flour, sugar, and enough ice water until the consistency is that of thick pancake batter.
  • Add the sausage to the batter, crumbling it as you add it to the bowl. Add the kimchi and green onions. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Heat a couple of cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil starts shimmering, scoop about a 1/2 cup of the batter to the skillet, spreading it to make it as thin as possible to about a 6-inch diameter. Cook until lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until done, about another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • You can eat it as-is or serve it with a simple dipping sauce of 2 parts soy sauce to 1 part white vinegar or rice vinegar.
