Notes
For a crispier texture, use very cold water for the batter and do not overmix; lumps are perfectly fine.
Ensure your pan is adequately heated to achieve a beautiful crust.
Do not overcrowd the skillet; cook pancakes in batches for even browning.
Taste your kimchi for saltiness first and adjust soy sauce accordingly.
Store cooled leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat by using a dry skillet over medium heat, or in an oven/toaster oven to crisp them up nicely. Avoid microwaving as it makes them soggy.
