1/2 tbsp (6g) brown sugar
1 & 2/3 cups (300g) water
2 cups (220g) Korean pancake mix
2 (20g) Cheongyang peppers
2/5 stalks (40g) green onions
2 (90g) sausages
1 (6g) fine red pepper powder
cooking oil (as needed)

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: rice flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber while rice flour gives a gluten-free option.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: silken tofu

Flaxseed meal provides binding without cholesterol, while tofu is a budget-friendly alternative.

green onions

🥗Healthier: chives

💰Cheaper: leeks

Chives offer a similar flavor profile, while leeks are often less expensive.

1

Chop sour kimchi finely using scissors. (Add some vinegar if kimchi is not sour enough.)

2

Finely chop some green onions and Cheongyang peppers.

3

Slice the sausages as thinly as you can.

4

Mix the kimchi, green onion, Cheongyang pepper, and sausages in a large bowl.

5

Add fine red pepper powder, brown sugar, Korean pancake mix, and water and toss well until the batter gets watery without clumps.

6

Preheat a frying pan or skillet and add cooking oil. Spread out the batter thinly.

7

As the batter starts to cook, twirl the pan so that cooking oil smears at the center of the kimchijeon.

8

When the edges start to cook, flip the kimchijeon over.

9

After flipping, continue cooking while twirling the pan. Once the kimchijeon is well-cooked, flip it over one more time and finish.
