High-Protein Kimchi Jeon

Ingredients

• 3.5 cup Ripe kimchi (Choose kimchi that is slightly sweet, tangy, and crunchy; quantity interpreted from the on-screen text.)
• 2 can Canned tuna (The can size is not stated; on-screen text clearly indicates two cans.)
• 1.5 cup All-purpose flour (Quantity interpreted from the on-screen text.)
• 1 cup Water (Quantity interpreted from the on-screen text.)
• 1 Jalapeño (Whole jalapeño, as shown in the on-screen ingredient text.)
• 1 Green onion (The quantity is interpreted as one whole green onion from the on-screen text.)
• 1 tbsp Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes; quantity interpreted from the on-screen text.)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the kimchi, canned tuna, flour, water, jalapeño, green onion, and gochugaru in a bowl. Mix them together to make the pancake batter.

2. 2

   Cook the batter in a pan, forming a very large kimchi pancake. The source does not specify the pan type, oil, or heat level.

3. 3

   Cook until the pancake begins to slide on the pan and has a crispy, crunchy outer layer. Flip it at that point and continue cooking until the other side is crisp.

4. 4

   Serve the cooked kimchi jeon. Any leftover batter can be reserved for meal prep later.
