Pancake with syrup and powdered sugar, naturally.
Recipe Summary Kimchi Pancakes
Michele and I recently discovered these incredibly tasty, and visually thrilling, savory pancakes at a local bar. I loved the taste and texture, but what really got my attention were the dancing bonito flakes on top. I found them as mesmerizing as I did delicious. Along with the kimchi, feel free to toss in any leftover meat and vegetables and see what happens. These would also be great topped with spicy mayo and served with eggs or grilled meat.Ingredients | Holland Pancakes1 (12 ounce) jar kimchi1 large egg¼ cup water1 teaspoon brown sugar½ teaspoon salt½ teaspoon sesame oil½ cup thinly sliced green onions¾ cup all-purpose flour, or as needed1 tablespoon vegetable oil4 tablespoons bonito flakes (Optional)DirectionsDrain kimchi thoroughly through a sieve and reserve the juice. Chop kimchi finely.Combine egg, 3 tablespoons kimchi juice, water, brown sugar, salt, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Whisk together. Add green onions and kimchi. Stir in flour just until combined.Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a few spoonfuls of pancake batter; any size pancake will do. Cook until edges are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer pancake to a serving plate and repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle bonito flakes on top.If you want a thicker, more substantial kimchi pancake, you want to use less liquid, or more flour, so that your batter isn't quite as runny as mine. Personally, I enjoy this style a little more, since you end up with a thinner pancake that's crispy around the edges, but still moist and tender inside.You can make the batter ahead of time and just refrigerate until ready to use.You can find bonito flakes at an Asian market or online.Info | Holland Pancakesprep: 15 mins cook: 20 mins total: 35 mins Servings: 4 Yield: 4 appetizer-sized pancakes
