Kimchi Pancakes

While it was my intention to write about delicious vegan foods for each day of September, I was derailed by a number of  distractions and obligations. Here’s one last recipe for the month.

My roommates and I got together Sunday evening for a house dinner. My contribution, along with some simple brown rice, was a big batch of kimchi pancakes. For the recipe I used to make kimchi, see “A Kimchi Commencement“.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups kimchi
  • 6 tbs kimchi liquid
  • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
  • 1 cup chickpea flour
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cloves crushed garlic
  • 2 tbs coconut oil or olive oil

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl combine all ingredients and mix until batter evenly coats kimchi.
  2. Heat a pan on medium heat and add oil.
  3. Pour mixture onto pan and spread until thin.
  4. Flip when underside is golden brown and crisp.
  5. Cook the other side until similarly crisped.
  6. Serve and enjoy.

  1. Kimchi is one of my favourite foods, but I don’t have it as often as I’d like. I’ve made kimchi before and devoured kimchi pancakes I made, but I fell out of the habit. Lately I’ve remembered I have a wonderful local Korean store, JJ Korean Mart, just a few blocks from my home, so I’ve been indulging in dumplings and vegan kimchi.

    The store carries Chongga Kosher Kimchi, which has plenty of flavour and a mild spiciness.

    As convenient as buying kimchi is, I feel like I want to have it much more often, so I’ll likely start making big batches again.
