Kimchi…It’s safe to say we’re a fan. In fact, we love most fermented foods, not only because they’re delicious but because they are a powerhouse when it comes to the beneficial bacteria for your gut. These pancakes are full of veggies and are the perfect fridge raid meal.

Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 egg
- ¼ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¾ cup chopped kimchi
- ½ cup room temperature water
- ½ cup kimchi juice
- ¼ cup chopped spring onions
- 200g finely chopped or grated mixed vegetables (carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, kale, whatever you’ve got)
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 1 tsp gochujang (optional)
Method
- In a bowl, mix together the ingredients emitting the kimchi and spring onion. Whisk together until you have a smooth pancake batter, it shouldn't be too runny.
- Add half the kimchi and sliced spring onion (keep some of the green parts to top the pancakes when serving).
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add some oil. When the oil is hot, add a ladle of the pancake batter.
- Leave to cook for a couple of mins. Add the remaining kimchi. When the top is dry, flip the pancake for 30 secs. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Sprinkle with the remaining kimchi.
