Ingredients

Vegetable and Seafood Mix

  • 1 cup Seafood mix (Thaw and pat dry if using frozen seafood.)
  • 1/2 cup Carrots, chopped (Add for sweetness and texture.)
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced (Adds depth of flavor.)
  • 1 small Green chili pepper, chopped (Adds a mild heat.)
  • 1 cup Korean spring onions, chopped (Main flavor component.)
  • 1/2 cup Onion, chopped (Adds sweetness and flavor.)
  • 1 large Egg (Binds the batter.)

Batter Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce (For umami flavoring.)
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour (Forms the base of the batter.)
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch (Helps to create crispness.)
  • 1/2 tsp Gochugaru (Korean chili flakes for flavor.)
  • 2 tbsp Rice flour (Adds texture to the pancake.)
  • 1 tsp Salt (To enhance flavor.)
  • 1 tbsp Sugar (Balances flavors.)
  • 2 tbsp Rice vinegar (Adds tanginess.)
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil (Adds nutty flavor.)
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable oil (For frying.)
  • 1/2 cup Kimchi, chopped (Adds flavor and texture.)
  • 1 cup Water (To adjust batter consistency.)


Instructions

Preparation

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the seafood mix, chopped carrots, minced garlic, chopped green chili pepper, chopped Korean spring onions, and chopped onion.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the egg, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and water together.
  3. Add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, rice flour, gochugaru, salt, and sugar to the wet ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Fold in the vegetable mixture and the chopped kimchi.

Cooking

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  2. Pour a portion of the batter into the pan and spread it out into a pancake shape.
  3. Cook until the edges start to turn golden and crisp, about 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  4. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  5. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Serve warm with additional soy sauce for dipping. For best results, use a hot pan, and don’t overcrowd the pan while cooking.
