Kimchi jeon (Korean kimchi pancake)

Kimchi jeon, also known as kimchijeon or kimchi pancake, is one of the tastiest and simplest ways to enjoy kimchi in Korean cuisine.

Traditionally considered a dish of utilization, it emerged as a practical way to use fermented kimchi that was already very ripe.

Its combination of crispy texture on the outside and juicy on the inside makes it an irresistible option for snacking, accompanying a meal, or enjoying during anju, the Korean ritual of eating while drinking.

Today it is a street, homemade, and Korean bar classic, loaded with umami and deeply comforting.
