Six Korean Pancake Recipes You Should Try!

The Korean word "ppang-jjig" comes from the Japanese word "pankeki", which means pancakes. Korean pancakes are different from the Western pancakes we know and love—they’re thicker, fluffier, and heart-shaped (see image above). They’re also packed with flavor! Korean pancakes are usually served as a snack or a side dish with a main meal. When you see them on a menu, they’ll probably come with some sort of topping such as honey, syrup, fruit jam, whipped cream, chocolate sauce... And now you know why these amazing little guys are so popular in Korea!

Basics of making Korean pancakes
There are two types of Korean pancakes, dough-based and batter-based. Dough-based pancakes are the most popular ones in Korea. They’re soft and almost chewy, but they’re also slightly crumbly. They’re made with a mixture of flour, water, and eggs, and then shaped and fried. Batter-based pancakes are made with a batter of flour, egg, and milk, and then shaped and fried. Batter-based pancakes are a little more difficult to make, but they taste amazing and are super soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.

An egg should be the secret ingredient
If you want your Korean pancakes to be extra soft, then add an egg to your batter. Eggs are amazing for making pancakes soft and fluffy—they allow enough air to be trapped inside the batter so that the pancakes rise up nicely. Adding an egg also helps make your pancakes more nutritious as they’re a source of protein and vitamins. The extra yolk in the egg even adds extra richness to your Korean pancakes!

How to make Korean pancakes: Step by step
First, mix together your dry ingredients in a bowl—flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Next, whisk together your wet ingredients in a separate bowl—milk, water, and egg. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and stir until the mixture is smooth and lump-free. Heat some oil in a frying pan and carefully pour in your pancake batter. Fry the pancake for about 2 minutes, until the bottom side is golden brown. Flip the pancake and fry the other side for about a minute. Slice your Korean pancake into pieces and serve it with whatever topping you like.

Taro and sweet potato pancakes
These are some of the most popular Korean pancakes! They’re made with sweet potato and taro root, which gives them a gorgeous purple color. Taro root is a starchy vegetable that’s very popular in Asian countries. It’s often used in desserts and drinks such as bubble tea. Sweet potato is also very popular in Asian countries, and it’s a great source of vitamins and minerals. These two vegetables together make a delicious pancake batter. You can make them as a snack or serve them as a side dish with a main meal. They’re best when served with honey or maple syrup.

Beef pancake
This is another classic Korean pancake, but this one is made with beef. The trick to making this pancake extra tasty is to make a sauce with gochujang (a Korean red pepper paste) and soy sauce. Mix the sauce with sliced cabbage and top it with the hot beef pancake for an amazing meal! If you’re not a fan of cabbage, you can serve the hot beef pancake with a side of kimchi (Korean fermented vegetables). It’s a perfect dish for cold autumn days when you crave comfort food.

Egg and onion pancake
This is a very simple and easy to make Korean pancake. It’s an excellent choice for beginners. You can make this pancake with any vegetable—try peppers, broccoli, or even spinach. This is a great dish to serve as a snack while you’re watching a football match or with a cup of coffee in the morning. It’s also a good choice if you want to make a quick and nutritious meal for your family. You can make it healthier by using low-fat milk and whole wheat flour.

Kimchi and squid pancake
This is a traditional Korean pancake that’s made with kimchi (Korean pickled vegetables) and squid. This is a great dish to make if you want to make a Korean-inspired meal but don’t have a lot of time to spend in the kitchen. It’s very easy to make and you can use the leftover kimchi from your last Korean meal. This dish tastes best when served with a generous amount of soy sauce and vinegar, and it’s a great choice for a quick and simple meal.
