Our family always orders this dish when we go out to a Korean restaurant. It makes for a fantastic shared appetizer or a main course. The pancake is crispy and flavorful and the dipping sauce adds savory, sweet and sour notes to the dish. Although, it is quick and easy to make at home. I make a double batch of the sauce and use the excess to make Poke. The sauce will keep for a week to ten days.

This is a great way to not only clean out your refrigerator but also to get children to eat their vegetables. With 5 cups of vegetables and/or protein, and very little flour, this dish is loaded with nutrition and is about 500 calories per serving.

I saw a YouTube video for a version of this recipe on Rin’s Cookbook, and, as usual, I put my twist on it.

5. Cook the pancake for 9-10 minutes on one side until the bottom turns crispy. Shake the pan occasionally to ensure that the pancake is not sticking. If needed, drizzle a tiny bit of oil onto the sides of the pancake as it cooks.

6. Meanwhile, prepare the dipping sauce. Add all the ingredients to a large glass jar, cover, and shake well to dissolve the sugar.

7. Flip the pancake by placing a large a plate over the pan and flipping the pan over. Then, add a little more oil to the bottom of the pan before sliding the pancake back to cook on the reverse side.

8. Cook the other side for 4-6 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

9. Use scissors to cut the pancake into wedges like a pizza if using it as an appetizer. Serve with dipping sauce on the side.

Note: * Aquafaba is the viscous liquid that is found in a can of beans i.e. Chickpeas, White Navy beans, Black beans, etc.. It imitates the properties of egg whites and is used to make Vegan mayonnaise, merengues, and marshmallows. Leftover water from cooked beans is Aquafaba as well. White Navy beans have a milder flavor than Chickpeas and can be used in recipes where you want a more delicate flavor. Use 3 tablespoons of Aquafaba in place of a whole egg, or 2 tablespoons of Aquafaba to replace the eggwhite only.
