Directions
-
Step 1
In a medium bowl mix together the chickpea flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in the spices, agave syrup, water and kimchi juice. Whisk together until it forms a smooth batter (the consistency of a pancake mix).
-
Step 2
Add the kimchi and half of the sliced spring onion (save the rest for garnish). Mix well.
-
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add some olive oil. Once heated, add in one ladle of the pancake mixture and spread it across the pan.
-
Step 4
Cook for a few minutes until the top of the pancake starts to bubble, then flip. Cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
-
Step 5
While the pancakes are cooking, mix together the avocado, coriander, salt and pepper and the juice of half a lemon. If you like it spicy, you can add some chili flakes too.
-
Step 6
Serve pancakes with the remaining spring onion, lemon wedges and the avocado salsa. You can also drizzle over some sriracha sauce or egg-free kewpie mayonnaise.
Variation
If you can’t find vegan kimchi then sauerkraut will also work nicely in this recipe.
