Kimchi Pancakes with Fava Bean Flour & Gochujang

Method

1. To make the gochujang: Simply whisk everything together in a small bowl until you have a smooth, uniform paste. It’s ready to use straight away or it will store well in an airtight container in the fridge for around a week.
2. Pop the fava bean flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the kimchi, half the chopped spring onions, the eggs, tamari and kimchi brine. Use of fork to lightly bring the mixture together, starting in the centre and moving out in circles, slowly incorporating the flour, until you have a thick wet batter.
3. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan. Once the oil is hot, spoon a heaped tablespoon of batter into the pan and use the back of the spoon to gently flattened the batter, pressing the pancake into a round-ish shape. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown, then flip over and do the same for the other side. Transfer to a serving plate and continue to cook the rest of the batter, adding a bit more oil to the pan when needed.
4. To serve, arrange the hot pancakes on a large plate and drizzle lightly with your homemade gochujang along with the rest of the spring onions & fresh herbs.
