FAQ · Things people ask

About this recipe.

What kind of kimchi is best for Kimchi Jeon?

Using well-fermented, slightly sour kimchi is key as it provides a richer flavor and depth. If your kimchi is very fresh, let it sit out at room temperature for a few hours or add a tiny bit of vinegar to the batter.

How do I make my Kimchi Jeon extra crispy?

Ensure your pan is hot and use enough oil to shallow-fry the pancake. Don't overcrowd the pan, and resist the urge to flip too early—let it get a nice golden crust on one side before flipping.
