Method

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt.
  2. Gradually pour in 3/4 cup cold water while whisking. Add more water 1 tbsp at a time until you get a smooth, pourable batter (should be thick but not doughy).
  3. Stir in kimchi juice and sesame oil.
  4. Fold in the chopped kimchi and scallions.
  5. Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil over medium heat.
  6. Pour in 1/3 cup batter per pancake, spread thinly.
  7. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Flip carefully.
  8. In a bowl, mix together all sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust to taste (more lime or gochujang if you like).
  9. Plate the pancakes hot, top with the coconut sauce, avocado slices, and garnish with sesame seeds, extra scallions, or a squeeze of lime if you like.
