These looks daunting but they may be the simplest recipe ever.
cup:1 cup flour to water.
Add 8oz of chopped kimchi, tsp of salt, tbsp of sugar and as much scallions as you want.
Stir until gloopy.
Put one ladle of any size (start small) into a pan with 2 tbsps of hot oil or fat.
Fry until bubbles start popping on the top. Flip, raise pancake and get oil under.
Cook until the bottom looks like the top (4-5 minutes a side)
Remove and add scallions. Serve with any sauce you want.
You can add anything you want to this. I've put leftovers of meat, vegetables, sausages in.
One of the gents whose videos I've watched on sourdough baking suggests using the unused portion of the starter to essentially make these (he went with scallions only, but adding the kimchi seems like it would be a great idea--although you might use a bit less given the dough will be sour to begin with). Sourdough starter is going to be 1-1 flour-water as it is, plus brings the flavor from the week or so of its own fermentation (and most people just toss the excess when they're baking, it seems).
