Advice

Use cold water and rice flour, then fry long enough for real browning, that is the difference between soft and shatter crisp. 🧊

Why it works 💡

Kimchi juice brings acidity and umami into the batter, while rice flour and a short rest create a thin crisp shell that stays crunchy after flipping. 💡

Twist 🌶️

Add 80 g enoki mushrooms (2½ cups / 2.8 oz) for a more restaurant style kimchijeon, or add 1 sheet gim, finely shredded, for a deeper Korean aroma. 🌶️
