VEGAN OIL-FREE KIMCHI PANCAKE Eating a Vegan Oil-Free Kimchi Pancake is a savory slightly spicy comfort food experience. My husband Paul ferments his own kimchi as well as sauerkraut brussel sprouts and other vegetables. In fact it is so good I can’t buy it at the store anymore because it can’t compare to his. We frequent a family owned Korean restaurant called ​Bibimbab ​ one of our best kept secrets. This authentic Korean restaurant serves the BEST vegan ethnically unique food I have ever eaten. Although they serve meat they have a diverse menu full of plant-based options. They will prepare your food without oil with brown rice or any way you want it.

Bibimbab serves a kimchi pancake beyond wonderful. We order it as an appetizer every time. I always wanted to try making one at home but I wanted mine to be completely oil free. I struggled with how to make this dense pancake without any oil. My ​Copper Chef Pan worked as well as it has since I got it at Christmas. I was worried but it didn’t stick at all. Although you can use any vegan kimchi my husband’s kimchi is a blessing. Kimchi pancakes have very few ingredients so it is easy to make. It all depends on your pan.
