1

Preheat oven to 150C/300F.

2

For the dipping sauce, combine the soy sauce, white vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar in a bowl and set aside until ready to serve.

3

For the pancakes, combine the flour, potato starch, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.

4

Add the egg and ¾ cup (180ml/6 fl oz) of cold water. Whisk until well combined.

5

Fold through the kimchi, kimchi juice, vegetables, and two-thirds of the spring onion.

6

Heat enough vegetable oil to just cover the base of a shallow frying pan over medium-high heat.

7

Scoop ¼ cupfuls of the batter mixture into the pan. Spread out a little with the back of a spoon.

8

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and the batter is cooked through.

9

Transfer cooked pancakes to a baking tray, season with a little more salt, and keep warm in the oven while you cook the rest.

10

Sprinkle with remaining spring onion. Serve with dipping sauce.
