Kimchi Buchimgae is one of my favorite Korean snacks ever! My mom used to make these on rainy days or when it was cold out. It is incredibly easy to fix but tastes wonderful. If you have homemade kimchi, wait until it is about 2 weeks old so that it's texture would be nice and soft when it is cooked. You can add other vegetables if you want to, like zucchini or bell peppers but I like mine plain with some kimchi and chili peppers.
Kimchi Buchimgae
Ingredients:
1 cup kimchi, chopped
1 cup flour or Korean buchimgae flour (You can find it at oriental stores)
1 cup water (You may add less water for a thicker texture. I like light texture with more water but you can add about 2/3 cup water.)
1/4 cup kimchi juice (the juice from the kimchi container)
1 serano chili pepper, sliced (you can seed it or use the seeds for spicier buchimgae)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine kimchi, flour, water, kimchi juice, chili pepper, and salt and mix well with a spoon, until the flour is not lumpy.
Heat oil (about 1 tablespoon) on a flat pan over medium-high heat, add about 1/2 cup full mixture on to the pan and cook about 1-2 minutes on each side or until the pancakes are reddish brown.
Serve with soy sauce if desired.
Enjoy!

YUM! Was going to make chigae or bokkum tonight but I might have to rethink that :) Looks delish!
ReplyDeletelooks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI swear you have some of the best recipes. I definitely know where to go for delicious Korean dishes to try.
ReplyDeleteWell well... this is quite nostalgic :)
ReplyDeleteI love Korean Pancakes! my fav of all time has got to be Scallion Pancakes! Pure Heaven!
ReplyDeleteKimchi is something I've been meaning to try. Haven't quite been brave enough yet. Heh.
ReplyDeleteOh Bob, you should definitely try Kimchi sometime. I know many people are afraid of trying it because it is way different from what they're used to but many find it fresh and delicious. :) I like freshly made kimchi. I never liked the ones that had been buried for a long time during winter. :)
ReplyDeleteYummm....this is my favourite. Sometimes I make these pancakes and sometimes I make Chinese scallion pancakes. I just love Korean food....so delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh, Sook,
ReplyDeleteOf all the things that could have happened with the mention on FoodieBlogroll, this is the nicest serendipity, I think. Your site is just beautiful, and that first picture!!!---we are Kimchi fanatics.
I have a big old jar of the Napa/turnip in my fridge right now, with floaty flecks of red pepper coloring the lovely marinade.
I thank you for your comment on Lawn Tea; the roast itself was wonderful---we had it as pulled pork sandwiches Sunday night, then at noon today, I sliced enough neat slices to cover the bottom of a baking pan, layered on sliced onion, small-cut cubes of potato, and several cups of shredded cabbage.
I poured on some chicken stock with a little garlic, soy sauce, and a bit of cornstarch to thicken as it bakes, and it's perfuming the whole downstairs.
Thank you for visiting, and I'll certainly be back!

ReplyDeleteI just recently tried kimchi pancakes and was immediately taken by them! I didn't realize how easy they are to make, so I will definitely have to try making them one day. But, I'm unsure of what kind of kimchi to buy since I've only had it in restaurants. Can you recommend a good brand? We have tons of 99 Ranch Markets nearby!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time that I am going to see a version of this pancake. Thanks for sharing. This looks so healthy.
ReplyDeletei am such a huge fan of kimchi. my husband tries to make it all the time, but somehow it never comes out right. we'll just have to keep trying, i guess. then when we perfect that, we can finally make kimchi pancakes, haha.
