Kimchi Pancakes (Kimchi Jun)

Submitted by Mika G.

"I buy kimchi by the gallon at our local Korean market, but you can even buy it at Walmart on the fresh vegetable isle. These are great as a snack or part of a Korean dinner. Be sure to dip them in a good soy sauce dipping sauce! YUM!"

This was surprisingly delicious. I changed a bit by combining two recipes, but this was my predominant one. I used one third corn starch rather than all flour to get these crispier, and added some chicken breast franks to make them more a main dish than a side. I didn't have kim chi, but I used a home made spicy pickled cabbage I'd had in the fridge from some hair-brained "make me this cause it's like deep space nine" recipe my husband wanted to try then didn't care for. ;-) Will definitely be getting real kim chi to try this again. Thanks for sharing.
