This looks so good!! I haven’t had good Korean food in a long time. I’m going to make this tomorrow. Thanks for all the recipes!
hi,e-mom,
I think the flip will be easier when you make smaller size of pancake.
I can flip, so can you! : )
This looks like the wonderful pancake I had at the Korean festival in downtown Toronto earlier this summer! Ì’m going to try using half the ingredients to make a smaller one ,,, do you think that would work? What an awesome flip! Too bad your video can`t teach me to do that too :)
no, I’m not a cook as my job. I just like cooking. : )
Thanks!
THAT FLIP WAS AMAZING!!!
Are you a cook by profession?
hi,Andreas,
Sounds like you can make good “Okonomiyaki”!
Hats off! Great pan flip! :)
Looks really good. If you put mayonaise, Tonkatsu sauce and fish flakes on the pancake, you’d have Okonomiyaki. But I love the Korean style with soy sauce as it fits better with other dishes.
Kitchen Ninja!
LOL, yeah,I’ve heard from some youtube audience that I’m good at using knife. It’s good compliment. Why?
We koreans say the most skillful cook in a family is supposed to use a knife and a cuttingboard. Others are just peeling garlic skin, arranging materials and cleaning around the kitchen.
Wonderfull. I’ll have to try one or two of these reciepes while on vacation. It’ll be a stain on my honnor if I don’t! :) That flip is very risky. One wrong move and the whole thing is ruined! You’re like a kitchen ninja!

Hi,Ginger,
I won’t forget your request “korean sidedishes”. : )
I’m interested in your spicy tofu soup now.

Have some spicy tofu soup boiling on the stove so I can type much but I just wanted to say … thanks Maangchi!
I was just at a Korean market earlier this week and almost picked up a pack of pancake mix – good thing I didn’t! This looked so easy.
That was a great flip with the pan!! =)
BTW … we have everything for a Korean feast except some banchans *wink*
This looks delicious…can’t wait to try it!
