Gochujang Pancakes

Tried these, and they were amazing. I replaced bread flour in the original recipe with rice flour (can also try amaranth flour). In fact, very little flour was used to make the recipe - it was mostly vegetables, and gochujang added a very nice and unique taste. I used cabbage, carrots, onions and potatoes, and the pancakes came out really good.

Dipping Sauce: 
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp gochugaru (Korean pepper powder) - i used crushed pepper/chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds - toasted - they are a must - add a very nice flavor.
Vegetables:
  • Basically whatever is there in the fridge - i will also try adding some greens
  • 1/2 cabbage
  • 1/2 zucchini/courgette
  • 1/2 large carrot
  • 1/2 large potato
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 mushroom
  • 1 green chilli 
  • 5 spring onions

Pancakes
  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 180 ml (3/4 cup) water
  • 1 tbsp gochujang
  • Oil for frying
  1. Toss julienned vegetables together.
  2. Combine flour, water and gochujang along with 1/2 tsp salt and whisk well. Then mix the veg through the batter until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Fry the pancake for 4-5 minutes or until golden then fry for another 4-5 min on the other side.
