1 1/2 scallions
1/4 onion
3 oz minced pork (optional)
cooking oil with high smoke point for pan frying (optional)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour or buchimgaru

Steps

Stir the soy sauce, vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, sugar, and pepper in a small bowl.
Mix the flour, kimchi juice, cold water, gochujang or gochugaru, and egg if using into a loose batter.
Fold in the kimchi, scallions, onion, and pork if using.
Heat a thin layer of oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
