Why is kimchijeon soft instead of crisp?

A thick pancake traps moisture. Make a thinner layer and let the underside set before trying to flip it.

What to try

  1. Chop bulky kimchi pieces so the batter can spread evenly.

  2. Preheat the pan, add the recipe oil, and spread a thin pancake.

  3. Avoid stacking finished pancakes immediately if you want the edges to stay crisp.

Make a small adjustment, then check the result before changing the whole batch.
