Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1 pancake)

  • Thinly Sliced Pork Belly 150g
  • Scallions 1/2 bunch
  • Onion 1/4
  • Egg 1
  • All-purpose Flour 50g
  • Potato Starch 30g

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
  • [A] Water 60ml
  • Sesame Oil (to taste)
  • Salt (a pinch)
  • [B] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
  • [B] Vinegar 1 tbsp
  • [B] Toasted White Sesame Seeds 1/2 tsp
  • [B] Finely Chopped Spring Onions (for garnish, to taste)
  • [B] Korean Chili Powder (to taste)

Steps

  1. Make the batter. In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour 50g, potato starch 30g, egg 1, soy sauce 1 tbsp, and water 60ml. Mix until no dry flour remains.
  2. Prepare the onion. Thinly slice 1/4 onion. Add the sliced onion to the batter made in step 1.
  3. Prepare the scallions. Roughly chop 1/2 bunch of scallions into 5cm lengths. Add the chopped scallions to the batter made in step 1.
  4. Make the dipping sauce. In a bowl, combine soy sauce 1 tbsp, vinegar 1 tbsp, toasted white sesame seeds 1/2 tsp, and finely chopped spring onions (to taste). Add Korean chili powder (to taste) as desired and mix. **(Pro Tip!)** Rub the sesame seeds between your fingers before adding them to release more aroma. If using regular chili powder (like ichimi), use a smaller amount.
  5. Prepare to cook the chijimi. Add sesame oil (to taste) to a 24-26cm frying pan. Pour the batter from step 3 into the cold pan and heat over medium heat.
  6. Add pork and cook. Gently press down the batter while it cooks. Evenly spread 150g of thinly sliced pork belly over the batter.
  7. Sprinkle with salt. Sprinkle salt (a pinch) over the pork and continue to cook over medium heat.
  8. When to flip. When the entire pancake can move freely in the pan and has a nice golden-brown color, flip it over.
  9. Cook the other side. After flipping, press down the pork side firmly and cook until golden brown.
  10. Adjust browning. Flip a few times to adjust the browning. Once cooked through, remove the chijimi from the pan.
  11. Cut the chijimi. Place the chijimi on parchment paper and slowly cut it into easy-to-serve portions.
  12. Finish with a double fry. Heat sesame oil (to taste) in the frying pan again. Arrange the cut chijimi pieces and fry until crispy. **(Pro Tip!)** Double-frying achieves an even crispier texture.
  13. Plate and serve. Pile the crispy chijimi onto a plate. Serve with the prepared dipping sauce. Enjoy!
