Spicy Korean Kimchi Pancakes (Kimchi Jeon)

These savory kimchi pancakes, or kimchi jeon, are a delicious and easy-to-make Korean street food favorite. The crispy exterior gives way to a soft, flavorful interior bursting with the tangy spice of kimchi and the richness of scallions. Perfect as a light dinner, a satisfying appetizer, or a side dish to accompany other Korean staples. They are incredibly versatile and can be customized to your spice preference by adjusting the amount of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes). Serve these hot off the pan with a dipping sauce of your choice – soy sauce with a touch of rice vinegar is classic, but a spicy mayo or even a simple sriracha would also work wonderfully. These pancakes are equally delicious warm or at room temperature, making them perfect for meal prepping or enjoying as a snack.
