Instructions
1
Prep
Whisk 140g flour, 120ml ice water, 60ml kimchi juice, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper into a thin lumpy batter. Fold in 360g chopped kimchi and half the sliced scallions. Whisk 40ml soy sauce, 20ml rice vinegar, 10ml sesame oil, and 10g sesame seeds in a small bowl for dipping sauce.

Fry 1
Heat 30ml neutral oil in a wide skillet (10-inch or larger) over medium-high until shimmering. Pour batter in, spread into a 25cm round 5mm thick. Pan-fry 4–5 minutes until the underside turns deep golden and edges crisp.

Fry 2
Flip the pancake, add remaining 30ml oil around the edge, fry 3–4 minutes over medium-high until cooked through and golden.

Fry 3
Push pancake to one side, raise heat to medium-high. Crack 4 eggs into the empty space, fry 90–120 seconds until whites set and yolks stay runny.
5
Rest and plate
Rest pancake on a board 60 seconds, then cut into 8 wedges with kitchen shears. Divide wedges between two plates, slide 2 eggs alongside each portion, set dipping sauce in a small bowl, scatter remaining scallions and seaweed strips.
