Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 oz. dried thin rice noodles
  • 2 cups prepared cabbage kimchi, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp.)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. light-brown sugar
  • 2 Tbs. plus 1/2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 2 Tbs. low-sodium soy sauce

Preparation

1  Prepare noodles according to package directions. Drain, and rinse under cool water. Drain again.
2  Combine kimchi, onion, and garlic in medium bowl. Chop noodles, and add to cabbage mixture, stirring to blend. Stir in flour, brown sugar, and ¼ cup water.
3  Heat large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbs. oil, swirl around to coat. Spread batter in pan. Reduce heat to medium, and cook 10 minutes, gently loosening edges after 5 minutes. Slide pancake, cooked side down, onto large plate. Add 1 Tbs. oil to skillet, and flip uncooked side of pancake into skillet. Cook 10 minutes more, pressing down on top occasionally.
4  Meanwhile, combine remaining ½ tsp. oil, soy sauce, and 2 tsp. water in small bowl.
5  Transfer pancake to plate, cut into 6 wedges, and drizzle with sauce.
