Steps

1
Mix chopped kimchi, kimchi brine, flour, water, egg, green onions, and sesame oil into a thick batter.
2
Line the air fryer basket with parchment. Pour half the batter into a thin round, spreading it evenly.
3
Air fry at 390°F for 7 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 5 minutes until crispy and golden on both sides.
4
Repeat with remaining batter. Whisk together dipping sauce ingredients.
5
Slice pancakes into wedges and serve hot with the dipping sauce.

💡

Tip: Use the ripest, most fermented kimchi you have — the more sour it is, the more flavorful your pancakes will be. Including the kimchi brine in the batter adds tang and helps bind the ingredients.
