There are many kinds of pancakes, such as regular one (western type), Japanese type (Okonomiyaki), Korean type (Chijimi). This time, I would like to introduce Korean pancake.
Korean pancake is sliced veggies, seafoods and/or meats mixed with dissolved wheat in water and bake it on fry-pan. It’s very delicious when you eat it with vinegar and soy sauce based dipping sauce.
I recently realized that we, Japanese people call Korean Pancake as Chijimi, but Korean people don’t call it as is…. It seems they call it as “Buchimage”. It was very shameful that I had been calling it Chijimi to Korean people.

Notes
As all you need to do is mix and cook them, making these Korean pancakes is quite easy. The batter has enough flavor on its own that you don’t really need any sauce, also making it a good option for a kids snack. Switching out and adding your favorite vegetables works well too.
