    Pancake

    • 1 cup flour
    • 1 cup water
    • 3 scallions or green onions chopped
    • 3 Tb kimchi juice optional
    • 1 egg
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions
     

    • Drizzle a non-stick skillet with sesame oil and bring to medium-high heat.
    • In a bowl, add the rest of the pancake ingredients and mix together to form a batter that looks very similar to a pancake batter.

    This is such a simple recipe and you can add a multitude of variations, such as sea food, or beef or pork (if you don't keep Kosher). Because we are in the middle of Hanukkah, I wanted to keep this fried treat quick and simple. You basically make a pancake-like batter, add a bunch of chopped scallions and some flavorings and fry away.
