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 phytochemicals (and microbes too) for your gut. These pancakes are full of fibre 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 spring onions, chopped
- 200g mixed vegetables (carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, kale, whatever you’ve got), grated
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp gochujang (optional)
Method
- In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients except 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 minutes. Add the remaining kimchi. When the top is dry, flip the pancake for 30 seconds. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Sprinkle with the remaining kimchi and serve!
