Kimchijeon may look simple, but it’s an addictively delicious dish beloved across Korea.

Perfect for rainy days or as a tasty snack with a glass of soju, this savory pancake is made by mixing chopped kimchi into a flour batter and pan-frying it.

The sour taste of kimchi pairs beautifully with the crispy, golden edges of the pancake, creating an irresistible treat that appeals to all ages. Often, pork or squid is added to give a delightful, chewy texture.

Kimchijeon is easy to find at bars and pubs throughout Korea and is fairly simple to make at home. However, achieving that perfectly crunchy edge requires just the right batter consistency, making it a fun challenge for anyone interested in Korean cooking.

If you love exploring new flavors, give kimchijeon a try to see if this savory pancake lives up to its reputation as one of Korea’s most crave-worthy snacks!
