Ingredients
- 4 cup kimchi
- 1 1/2 cup flour
- 1 1/2 cup water
- 1 jalapeno
- a pinch salt
- 1 cup green onion
- 10 oz light canned tuna in water
- 1 tbsp gochugaru
- a second spray spray oil
Instructions
- 1Finely slice the green onions and dice the jalapeño; set aside.
- 2Roughly chop the kimchi if the pieces are large, then place it in a large mixing bowl.
- 3Add the sliced green onions, diced jalapeño, flour, and water to the bowl.
- 4Stir in the drained, flaked tuna, gochugaru, and a pinch of salt; whisk until the mixture forms a smooth, pourable batter with no lumps.
- 5Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium heat (about 350°F / 347°F) and lightly coat the surface with a quick spray of oil.
- 6Once the pan is hot, pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet, spreading it thinly with the back of a spoon to form a round pancake.
- 7Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the bottom is crisp; the pancake should lift easily when the pan is gently shaken.
- 8Using a large plate or a spatula, carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for another 2–3 minutes until equally crisp and golden.
- 9Transfer the cooked pancake to a serving plate, repeat the process with the remaining batter, spraying the pan again as needed.
- 10Serve the pancakes hot, optionally garnished with extra sliced green onion or a drizzle of soy sauce for added flavor.
