Kimchi Pancake

Kimchi has become extremely popular recently and has been appearing on restaurant menus in very interesting ways ranging from kimchi tacos to kimchi on hot dogs.  So what is kimchi?  It's a Korean dish consisting of fermented cabbage or other fermented vegetables.  Sounds yummy right ;-)  It's actually really delicious and can be used to make this amazing dish I first tried while in China.  It's a Kimchi pancake!!  This makes a great spicy, salty, crunchy appetizer.

Serves 5 people as an appetizer
Ingredients:
1 cup Kimchi cut into thin strips
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup kimchi liquid (from the jar of kimchi)
pinch salt
1 egg

1) Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix until everything is well incorporated.
2) Heat a large skillet with a 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.  Add the kimchi mixture and spread it out evenly into one giant pancake.  Cook over medium heat and flip after 3-4 minutes (when it begins to brown).  Cook another 3-4 minutes or until both sides are browned and the center is cooked.  You may have to lower to heat to ensure the inside cooks but the outside doesn't burn.
3) Remove from heat, cut slices and serve immediately.
