Korean Seafood Pancake
Dipping Sauce Ingredients
1/4 c soy sauce
1 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean red chile flakes)(optional)
1 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame seeds
1/2 tsp minced ginger
2 scallions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced

Pancakes
1 1/2 lbs of your favorite raw seafood (shrimp, fish, mussels, clams, squid, etc)
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 c rice flour
2 Tbsp potato starch (or cornstarch if not available)
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 large egg
1 c cold club soda or sparkling water
6 scallions, sliced
1 red finger chile pepper or Fresno chile or jalepeno thinly sliced (optional)
1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup chives, sliced
1/2 cup kimchi, drained, pressed dry, and chopped
Kosher salt
1/2 cup canola oil

Directions

1. For the dipping sauce: Combine the soy sauce, gochugaru, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, ginger, scallions and garlic in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Add the all-purpose and rice flours, potato starch, sesame oil and egg to a large bowl. Add the ice water and whisk until well incorporated. The batter consistency should be loose, like heavy cream.
3. Add the scallions, chile, shallot, garlic, chives, kimchi, 3/4 teaspoon salt and mix well.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup of the batter to the skillet and spread it evenly until it is in a single layer, using a spatula if necessary. Distribute the seafood evenly all over the pancake. Lower the heat to medium and cook until the sides are crisp and small bubbles form on top, 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Flip the pancake and cook the other side until brown and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the pancake twice more, once again on each side, and cook for 30 seconds per side to ensure the pancake becomes crispy. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter and canola oil.
6. Cut pancakes and serve with the dipping sauce.
