Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cucumber
  • 100 g crumbly goat's cheese

Batter

  • 3 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup kimchi, roughly chopped
  • 150 g (½ cup) plain flour
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • ½ tsp sugar

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp Korean chilli powder
  • 1 tsp sesame oil, plus a little extra for cooking

Instructions

  3. Heat a 22-cm frying pan over medium heat and add the oil. Pour the batter into the pan and reduce the heat a little. Fry for about 3 minutes or until the batter is set and the base browned. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes, drizzling a little sesame oil around the edges to help it cook. Transfer to a serving plate.
