Vegan Kimchi Pancakes

Lover of the savoury pancake, meet kimchi pancakes. Savoury pancakes to kick start (or end) and day of the week with a hit of spice. This is an adaptation of kimchijeon (korean savoury pancakes) with ingredients that were already in my kitchen.
Prep Time
10 mins
Cook Time
25 mins
Serves
2
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
1 "flax egg" (2 dessert spoons of powdered flax seed + 4 dessert spoons of boiling water stirred)
4 dessert spoons soy sauce
3 dessert spoons vegan kimchi liquid
95g sieved flour (I used wholemeal)
250g vegan kimchi
2 spring onions
Some neutral oil to fry them
To serve:
Vegan kimchi
Okonomi sauce
Method
STEP 1
Mix flax "egg", soy + kimchi liquid in a bowl, add the flour and mix together to get a smooth batter.
STEP 2
Cut the kimchi and spring onion into small pieces (leave some out to garnish the pancakes later)
STEP 3
Mix the veggies into the batter. (Adding the cut kimchi will make the paste more liquid, add a tiny bit of extra flour if needed, and if the paste is too thick you can add some water to loosen)
STEP 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Ad 1-2tsp neutral oil (sunflower works well)
STEP 5
Ladle the batter into the centre of the pan.
STEP 6
Flip when they turn golden brown on underneath, and you see bubbles start to form on the surface (around 2-3 minutes). Cook for a further 2-3 minutes
STEP 7
Remove from the pan and place on kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil
STEP 8
To serve:
Garnish with the reserved kimchi + cut spring onion and pour okonomi sauce all over
(they are traditionally eaten with a rice vinegar sauce but I love okonomi)
STEP 9
Pair with a vegetable stir fry for a more substantial meal. Enjoy!
