Listen to that crunch. 🔊
This is our kimchi pancake, and it's completely gluten free. The trick is ice-cold soda, which makes the batter light and gives the edges that shatteringly crisp finish. It serves two or three happy people, and it's on the table in about twenty minutes.
You'll find everything for it on our shelves at any Pachara store 🥢
Kimchi pancake (GF). Serves 2 to 3.
1 cup gluten-free flour
250ml soda water, ice cold
1 cup kimchi, roughly chopped, with a splash of its juice
1 tsp gochugaru
1 spring onion, finely sliced
Neutral oil, for frying
Dipping sauce
2 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce
1.5 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp sesame oil
Stir the flour and cold soda together until just combined, then fold in the kimchi, gochugaru and spring onion. Heat a generous layer of oil in a frying pan until it shimmers. Pour in the batter and spread it thin. Fry for three to four minutes on each side until it is deep golden and crisp. Whisk the sauce ingredients together, slice the pancake into wedges and dip.
Save this one for a cold night. 🌶️
