재료

Servings: 2 pancakes | Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 8 min

½ cup Bibap Manufacture Kimchi Original, chopped
1–2 tbsp kimchi juice
½ cup spelt flour or chickpea flour (for a healthier option)
⅓–½ cup water (adjust for thick, pourable batter)
2 spring onions, chopped (plus more for garnish)
olive oil, for frying
sesame oil, for drizzling

준비 과정

We begin by combining everything in a mixing bowl: the chopped Bibap Manufacture Kimchi Original, a little of its juice, the spelt or chickpea flour, water, and the sliced spring onions. We mix until a thick but still pourable batter forms. It should feel hearty but easy enough to spread in the pan.
Next, we heat a little olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. We pour in half of the batter and gently spread it into a thin, even circle. It cooks for a few minutes on each side until it becomes golden and crisp.
To finish, we drizzle a touch of sesame oil over the warm pancake and add a few more spring onions on top. We like serving it straight from the pan, sometimes with a simple dipping sauce made from soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a few sesame seeds.

Our version uses spelt or chickpea flour instead, creating a more wholesome, gluten-free and fibre-rich alternative that still delivers the familiar flavour and satisfying texture we love.
