Ingredients

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon vinegar
1/4 teaspoon minced scallion
1/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1 egg
2 scallions, cut into 1 1/2-inch-long pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, sliced thinly
1 1/2 tablespoons Korean red pepper powder or 1/2 tablespoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup prepared cabbage kimchi, cut in 3-inch-long pieces
2 tablespoons kimchi juice
6 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

Make dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, scallion, sesame seeds and one-half tablespoon water. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix flour, potato starch and egg until smooth. Add scallions, garlic, red pepper powder, salt, kimchi and its juice. Mix well. Batter will be pale pink.
Place an 8- or 9-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. When oil is hot, pour in one-third of the pancake batter. Fry until golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes. Lift pancake with a spatula, add 1 tablespoon oil to pan and swirl it. Flip pancake and fry other side until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip again, without adding oil, and fry for 1 minute. Flip one more time and fry 1 to 2 minutes. Pancake should be dark gold.
Repeat with remaining batter and oil, making 3 pancakes. Remove to a large round plate and cut each pancake into 6 wedges. Serve with dipping sauce.
