Simple Homemade Kimchi Pancake

written by Emma Tang

Simple Homemade Kimchi PancakeMy favorite kind is kimchi made from nappa cabbage. Besides serving it as a healthy side dish to our meal, I also use kimchi to cook a variety of popular Korean dishes, such as simple homemade kimchi pancakes.

Spicy and crispy kimchi pancakes paired with delicious freshly-made dipping sauce is our favorite appetizer! We make it at least once a week.

Kimchi Pancake Ingredients

How to keep kimchi smell out of your fridge?

Kimchi is delicious but the smell is overwhelming. Here is what I do to help keep the kimchi smell out of my fridge. 

After I bought the kimchi from the store, the first thing I do is transferring them to a pickle jar or a glass tupperware box. Then wrap the jar or box with clear plastic foil or put them into a large ziploc bag and seal the bag. 

It has worked for me, I hope you find it helpful.

Homemade Kimchi Pancake BattersThis dish takes only about 15 minutes to come together.

First, I made a flour and season it with kimchi juice, salt and sugar. Once the batter is smooth, I added in the chopped kimchi and onion. After pan-frying with oil for a few minutes, these delicious pancakes will be almost ready to serve.

Pan frying Homemade Kimchi PancakeI normally serve the kimchi pancakes with my homemade dipping sauce. The great combination of pancakes and dipping sauce takes this dish to the next level.

Here are the ingredients for the dipping sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • a handful of chopped green onion

It’s really easy to make. Other than kimchi pancakes, you can use this sauce for dumplings as well.

Homemade Kimchi PancakesI hope you enjoy making these simple homemade kimchi pancakes. These are other tasty dishes made with kimchi I have shared in the past, you may find it helpful as well:
