Ingredients
  

For the Batter

  • 2 cups Spring Onions Chopped.
  • 1 cup Water Use chilled for better texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Gochugaru Swap with red chili flakes for milder version.
For Frying
  • 2 tablespoons Oil (Vegetable/Canola) High smoke point oil.
Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 cup Kimchi Chopped.

  • mixing bowl
  • spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually pour in chilled water while stirring to create a smooth batter. Allow it to rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in the chopped spring onions and any optional veggies like grated carrots or finely chopped zucchini until evenly distributed.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom. Heat the oil until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
  4. Pour batter into the hot skillet, spreading to half-inch thickness. Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden edges and bubbles form on the surface.
  5. Carefully flip the pancake over, gently pressing it down. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until brown and crispy.
  6. Remove pancake from skillet and place on a wire rack to cool slightly. Slice into wedges and serve warm with soy sauce for dipping.
