Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 100 grams
• water - 150 milliliters
• kimchi - 100 grams, chopped
• green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• carrot - 1 small, grated
• salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, water, salt, and black pepper to create a batter.
2. Add the chopped kimchi, grated carrot, and finely chopped green onion to the batter, mixing well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil, ensuring the pan is well-coated.
4. Pour half of the batter into the skillet, spreading it out into a circle about 1 cm thick.
5. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges start to crisp and the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
6. Remove the pancake from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
7. Cut the pancakes into wedges and serve hot, optionally with a dipping sauce.
