Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wrap the tofu in paper towels and microwave for 1 minute. Leave to cool down. Chop the Chinese chives into 2 cm long pieces. Finely julienne the carrot, and chop the kimchi finely.
- 2
Put the tofu and egg into a bowl and mix. Add the flour and katakuriko and continue mixing.
- 3
Add the chopped up ingredients and mix together.
- 4
When it's evenly mixed, pour into a frying pan that's been heated up with sesame oil. (To make 6 small pancakes, drop in spoonfuls of the batter at a time.)
- 5
Cook on both sides until browned over medium heat, and it's done!
- 6
Mix the sauce ingredients together, and serve with the pancakes. You can just use ponzu sauce instead, which is more refreshing. Try wrapping the pancakes in Korean nori seaweed too, which is delicious.

Jijimi (Korean Savory Pancakes) with Chinese Chives and Cheese Jijimi (Korean Savory Pancakes) with Chinese Chives and Cheese
Have fun improvising with different ingredients as well!You can add or replace Chinese chives with spinach or komatsuna greens, or you can also try adding carrots or ground meat.Adding a small amount of ingredients will not affect the batter and should hold together fine.My 1 year-old son enjoys this as his favorite finger food.Leftovers can be stored in the freezer. I recommend using onion for sweetness. Measurements doesn't have to be accurate. If you cook over medium heat, it'll come out nice and gooey. If you brown it more over high heat at the end, it'll be crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. Recipe by Tsukushion cookpad.japan -

Crispy Crunchy Cheese and Spinach Chijimi Crispy Crunchy Cheese and Spinach Chijimi
This is "imitation chijimi" that is different from authentic Korean chijimi. I tried out various things, and it was the most delicious with spinach, so I made a slightly sweet batter with lots of eggs and spinach. I increased my vitamin intake by adjusting the amount of oil, and upped my iron intake as well with the cheese.Make the sauce before cooking the batter.This batter tastes better if they are thinly spread out when cooked, so this amount yields 2 sheets.The cheese burns easily, so keep an eye on the heat. You can eat this without cheese for a lighter taste. For about 2 18 cm [7.1 in] sheets; serves about 3~4 people. Recipe by Miiyu cookpad.japan -
