Kimchi Pancake With Shrimp Recipes

KIMCHI PANCAKE WITH SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Dipping Sauce: Stir together all ingredients. Set aside.
• Pancake: Preheat oven to 200 degrees; set a wire rack over a baking sheet and have ready in the oven to keep cooked pancakes warm.
• In a bowl, toss shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon salt and baking soda; let stand 10 minutes. Rinse in a colander, then pat dry, removing as much moisture as possible.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flours, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt. In a small bowl, combine egg, water, and kimchi liquid. Pour water mixture into dry ingredients; whisk until just combined. Add shrimp, kimchi, and scallions; gently fold with a spatula until incorporated.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high in a medium nonstick skillet. Add one-third of pancake batter (about 1 heaping cup) to the skillet; spread into a 1/2-inch-thick circle (about 8 inches in diameter) with ingredients evenly distributed. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, without disturbing, until edges are set and bottom is browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Using a large spatula, flip, then cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes more. Flip again and cook until crisp, 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then to prepared rack in the oven to keep warm. Repeat twice more with remaining batter. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with dipping sauce, more kimchi, and chopped scallions.

KIMCHI PANCAKES

Steps:

• Drain kimchi thoroughly through a sieve and reserve the juice. Chop kimchi finely.
• Combine egg, 3 tablespoons kimchi juice, water, brown sugar, salt, and sesame oil in a large bowl. Whisk together. Add green onions and kimchi. Stir in flour just until combined.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a few spoonfuls of pancake batter; any size pancake will do. Cook until edges are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until crispy, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer pancake to a serving plate and repeat with remaining batter. Sprinkle bonito flakes on top.

BUTTERY KIMCHI SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the kimchi until it resembles a paste. Season the shrimp with kosher salt.
• In a 12-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, ginger and red-pepper flakes, if using, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add half the shrimp to the pan in one layer and cook undisturbed until they just start turning pink about 1 minute. Flip and cook for about 1 minute more, then remove from the pan and set aside. They may not be fully cooked at this time, and that's O.K. Repeat with remaining shrimp and leave in the pan.
• Add the reserved shrimp back to the pan with any juices that have accumulated. Add the kimchi paste and stir together with the shrimp until everything is well coated and the shrimp is cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from the heat, squeeze with lime and scatter cilantro on top. Make sure to spoon the residual pan sauce on top and season with flaky salt if desired.

KIMCHI JUN (KIMCHI PANCAKE) AND DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir together the kimchi, kimchi juice, flour, eggs, and green onion in a bowl.
• Heat vegetable oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Using about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, pour into skillet, spreading as thin as possible. Cook pancakes until set and lightly browned, turning once, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Season to taste with salt.
• Whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili pepper flakes, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with the pancakes.

SHRIMP AND SCALLION PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F. Set a rack in a 4-sided sheet pan and put in oven. Mince and mash garlic with 3/4 teaspoon salt, then whisk together with water, eggs, and sesame oil. Whisk in flour until smooth. Stir in scallions, bell pepper, and shrimp.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Stir batter, then cook pancakes in batches of 4 (2 tablespoons each, with some vegetables and 1 or 2 pieces shrimp), pressing down lightly with a large spatula to flatten and evenly distribute vegetables, turning once, until golden and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels, then transfer to rack in oven to keep warm. Add oil to skillet between batches as needed.
