Kimchi Pancakes

Pin It Now!

Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean side dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasoning like chili peppers, garlic, scallions, and other spices. Among kimchi varieties, napa cabbage kimchi is very common.

Kimchi is rich in vitamins A and C, and due to its fermentation process is also rich in beneficial gut-boosting lactobacilli bacteria. It has potent anti-oxidative and Immune-stimulating activities along with anti-obesity effects and more.

Kimchi can be eaten alone or with white rice. It is also use in making dishes such as kimchi stew, kimchi soup, kimchi fried rice etc. Today I like to start with kimchi pancakes. Besides kimchi other ingredients are pretty much easier to access from your kitchen.
