Kimchi Pancakes (Kimchijeon 김치전)
Korean style kimchi pancakes
A delicious savory Korean pancake made with kimchi. A very versatile recipe, where aside from the basic flour batter and kimchi you can add all types of ingredients, onions, vegetables, some type of protein, etc. For some extra protein and to make the pancakes fluffier, I added eggs to the recipe, but you can make it without it and they will still be delicious.
