Sourdough Discard Kimchi-Jeon: Kimchi Pancakes

Pajeon is a must get appetizer for me at Korean restaurants. My favorite is haemul panjeon or seafood pancake. These day, where I spend 95% of my time on my ass, having protein as an appetizer is just #toomuch, so the simpler sibling, kimchi-panjeon, is what I now opt for.

This kimchi-jeon is made using sourdough discard. The tanginess of sourdough and the tanginess of kimchi are just meant to be! Makes 2 small-medium pancakes.

No sourdough? No prob! Replace the weight of sourdough starter/discard with equal weight flour and water (or a liquid of choice, like milk) ex. replace 60g sourdough discard with 30g flour and 30g water
