Kimchi Pancakes

Ingredients:

½ pound kimchi, chopped (small pieces preferable)
2 tablespoons of kimchi brine
3 scallions, chopped
½ teaspoon sugar (I recommend our Madrona Smoked Sugar)
2 tablespoons Kimchi Blend (plus more for a final sprinkle!)
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup water
4 tablespoons neutral, high smoke point oil

Steps: 

Kimchi pancakes take some practice, but the mistakes are delicious! Combine the Kimchi Blend, scallions, Madrona Smoked Sugar, flour, water, and chopped kimchi. Stir until well-combined. Heat a large skillet with a neutral oil of your choice-- classically, you can make a large, 12-inch pancake to cut like a pizza, but I prefer making batches of smaller sizes. Pour a cupful of the kimchi mixture into a pan, and smush it flat so it becomes a small pancake. Let cook on both sides until crispy. Garnish with scallions and a hearty sprinkle of Kimchi Blend! I also enjoy a dash of soy sauce on top.
