KIMCHIJEON (KIMCHI PANCAKE)



Kimchijeon (Kimchi Pancake) image

At Pyeong Chang Tofu House in Oakland, Calif., Young S. Kim's golden kimchijeon are a revelation. Tart with pungent kimchi, the pancakes are both satisfyingly chewy and shatteringly crisp. At the Tofu House, where Mrs. Kim turns 1,400 pounds of Napa cabbage into kimchi each month, her homemade kimchi is the secret to her kimchijeon's unsurpassed flavor. Use the most flavorful traditionally prepared kimchi you can find - it'll make all the difference in this simple recipe. This version, adapted from Mrs. Kim's original recipe, comes together quickly: Just combine kimchi and its juice with a few dry ingredients into a simple batter, then fry it in a cast-iron skillet into a mouth-watering pancake. Serve it to a crowd as an appetizer, or eat it on its own as a filling meal.

Time 15m

Yield 2 (10-inch) pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup citrus ponzu sauce
1 tablespoon toasted white sesame seeds
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of sea salt
1 heaping cup kimchi (about 10 ounces), plus 1/4 cup kimchi juice
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons gochujang
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fish sauce
3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine ponzu sauce, sesame seeds and scallion. Set aside.
  • Prepare the pancakes: In a large bowl, whisk together potato starch, flour, garlic powder, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • Dice kimchi into 1/2-inch pieces. In a medium bowl, stir together kimchi and kimchi juice, scallions, gochujang, sugar, fish sauce and 1/2 cup water. Add kimchi mixture to flour mixture, and stir to combine.
  • Set a 10-inch cast-iron pan over medium heat. When it's hot, add 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. When oil shimmers, add half the batter, and spread from the center out to the edges of the pan. After about 1 minute, once you sense the pancake is setting, use a thin metal spatula to make sure pancake is not sticking. When the bottom of the pancake is brown and the top fades from glossy to matte, after another 30 to 60 seconds, carefully flip the pancake using the metal spatula. (Alternatively, slide the pancake onto a rimless plate, and flip it back into the pan.) Continue cooking for another 60 to 90 seconds on second side until set, then carefully slide pancake onto a plate.
  • Use remaining oil and batter to make a second pancake. Cut into wedges, and serve hot with dipping sauce.

Categories     Appetizer     Snack

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup thinly sliced fully-fermented kimchi
1 to 2 scallions (Two if thin and small)
1/4 medium onion
3 ounces minced pork, canned tuna (without the liquid), or squid cut into small strips - optional
cooking oil with high smoke point for pan frying
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or buchimgaru (Korean pancake premix)
2 to 3 tablespoons juice/liquid from kimchi (See note on water below)
1 or 2 teaspoons gochujang (Korean chili pepper paste) or gochugaru - optional
1 lightly beaten egg - optional
1 cup icy cold water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
pinch of black pepper

Steps:

  • Thinly slice the kimchi, about 1/2-inch thick. Cut the scallions into about 2-inch pieces. If the white part is thick, cut in half lengthwise. Thinly slice the onion.
  • 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.
  • Add a little more water if the batter is too thick. The batter should flow easily from a spoon.
  • Stir in the kimchi, scallions, onion and the optional protein of your choice.
  • 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. 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.
  • Repeat the process until there is no remaining batter. Serve hot with a dipping sauce, if desired.

Yield Makes 30 (3-inch) pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup thinly sliced scallion (white and pale green parts only) plus 1/2 cup finely chopped scallion greens (from 1 bunch)
3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
5 large eggs
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 cups matzo meal
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Cook sliced scallion in 2 teaspoons oil in a small heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until pale golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in scallion greens.
  • Whisk eggs in a bowl until combined well, then whisk in water. Stir in matzo meal, salt, pepper, and scallion mixture until combined well.
  • Heat 1/2 cup oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot. Working in batches of 4, fill a 1/4-cup measure three-fourths full (3 tablespoons) for each pancake, then drop batter carefully into hot oil and spread with back of a spoon to form a 3-inch round. Cook pancakes until undersides are golden, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Turn over with a slotted spatula and cook until undersides are golden, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Transfer to a large rack set on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Add some of remaining 1/4 cup oil as needed between batches.
