Of course you can serve your Cucina Verde kraut on the side of any meal that you are eating, but it is fun to experiment with different ways to combine it with your meals!
Kim Chi Pancakes
This is a great way to use your spicy Kim chi.

1/2 cup cold water
1 large egg
1 TBPS Kim chi brine

Chop the kimchi into bite sized pieces.
Place flour and starch in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add cold water, egg, Kim chi brine and soy sauce. Whisk until smooth. Add Kim chi and scallions and stir.
Heat oil in a large cast iron pan.
Add 1/3 cup batter and spread it out with the back of a spoon until it is about 6 inches. Cook until crispy and golden, about 2 minutes each side. Repeat until all batter is cooked, adding more oil to pan as necessary.
Serve with a bit of soy sauce mixed with a touch of maple syrup if desired.
