Method

  1. Mix the kimchi, kimchi juice, onion, gochugaru, sugar and pork in a bowl.
  2. Add the flour and cold water and stir just until combined. The batter should be thick but spreadable.
  3. Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat and spread the batter thinly, about 5 mm.
  4. Fry 3 to 4 minutes until the edges are crisp and brown, flip, and fry 3 minutes more, pressing lightly.
  5. Cut into wedges and serve hot.

Cook's note

Be generous with oil; the crisp lacy edge is the best part.
