Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix kimchi, flour, cold water, and the egg if using. Stop when no dry flour remains; a few small lumps are fine.

  2. 2

    Heat half the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Spread half the batter into a thin round.

  3. 3

    Cook until the underside is deep golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook the second side for 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat.

Ingredient substitutions

Kimchi
There is no exact substitute. Sauerkraut plus gochugaru can provide acidity and crunch, but the flavor will be different.
All-purpose flour
A gluten-free flour blend may work, with a different texture.
Water
Broth adds more flavor where appropriate.
Cooking oil
Any neutral frying oil works.
