This kimchi pancake recipe comes from our 4 week Nourish & Thrive community class course. Chef Jordan showed the class how to make these simple probiotic-rich kimchi pancakes packed with beneficial bacteria to help balance the microbiome.
Kimchi (with juice) – 200 g, chopped
All-purpose flour or gluten-free flour – 100 g
Cornstarch – 25 g (1½ tbsp)
Sesame oil – 2 tsp
Salt – a pinch (optional, depending on kimchi saltiness)
Oil for frying – 2–3 tbsp
Water - 100ml
In a bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, and water until smooth.
Add chopped kimchi (with 2–3 tbsp of kimchi juice) and spring onions. Mix to combine.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp oil.
Spoon half the batter into the pan, spread into a thin circle. Fry 3–4 minutes until bottom is golden, then flip and cook another 3–4 minutes.
Repeat with remaining batter. Drizzle with sesame oil before serving.
