Kimchi Jeon (Savory Kimchi Fritters) with Gochujang Mayo Dip

[Fivemplarity]

Kimchi jeon is a crispy and flavorful pancake made with kimchi, flour, and egg. It's a popular Korean street food that's perfect as a snack or appetizer. The gochujang mayo dip adds a delicious spicy and creamy element to the dish.

Ingredients

• For the Kimchi Jeon:
  • 1 cup kimchi, chopped (you can adjust the spiciness based on your preference)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
• For the Gochujang Mayo Dip:
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1-2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • Pinch of garlic powder

Procedure

1. Make the Kimchi Jeon Batter: In a large bowl, combine the chopped kimchi, flour, egg, water, and green onions. Mix well until a thick batter forms.
2. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, scoop tablespoons of batter into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
3. Fry the kimchi jeon for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
4. While the jeon cook, make the Gochujang Mayo Dip: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, gochujang, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Adjust the amount of gochujang to your desired level of spice.
5. To serve, arrange the Kimchi Jeon on a plate and drizzle with the Gochujang Mayo Dip. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!

This recipe is a great way to experience the unique flavors of Korean cuisine. Give it a try and discover a new favorite snack!
