Korean side dish, Buchimgae.

I would like to talk about how to make Buchimgae for the topic of this week. Buchimgae is one of Korean side dishes. It can be considered as a flavorful Korean pancake. Depending on what you like, you can add your favorite vegetables or seafood, and if you like it hot and spicy, you can go with some Kimchi. But in this time, I will talk about the vegetable buchimgae from my mom’s recipe.
The ingredients are 4 tablespoons flour, 1/2 cup water, pinch of salt, 2 medium zucchinis or other favorite vegetable you want cut into thin strips, a thinly sliced of onion, a tablespoon of oil, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, little bit of vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon of sesame seeds.
Alright, let’s start making buchimgae!
First, Combine flour with water and salt in a large bowl to form a thin batter and add vegetables to the mixture. Heat oil in large non-stick pan over medium-high heat then fry the pancakes for about 5 minutes and it looks golden brown both sides. Lastly, prepared the dipping sauce for the buchimgae, which is with soy sauce, vinegar and sesame seeds.
Enjoy!!
