Chop the kimchi into small pieces and set it aside.
You can adjust the amount of kimchi based on how spicy you like your pancakes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rice flour, water, egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth.
For a crisper texture, add a little more rice flour.
Add the chopped kimchi and spring onions to the batter. Mix until evenly combined.
Make sure the kimchi is well distributed throughout the batter for uniform flavor.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Ensure the pan is properly heated to get a crispy edge on the pancakes.
Pour the kimchi batter into the pan, spreading it evenly to form a pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Flip the pancake carefully to avoid breaking it. Use a spatula to press gently for even cooking.
Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
If you prefer smaller pancakes, you can divide the batter into smaller portions.
Serve the kimchi jeon hot, drizzled with a little sesame oil and garnished with additional spring onions, if desired.
Kimchi jeon is best served with a soy dipping sauce or kimchi juice on the side.
