Korean Pancake with Gochujang Prawns
Korean-style vegetable pancake with gochujang prawns, served with a chili and mango salsa and a sesame and honey dipping sauce.
Sabina: "I do love Korean food, so I'm making a Korean style pancake. The pancake itself has a batter with some shredded potatoes, vegetables as well, and spices. And then I'm going to serve it with some prawns with some gochujang sauce and a mango salsa and a dipping sauce."
Sabina: "My husband makes pancakes every Sunday, and they're the American buttermilk pancakes. I'm a bit fed up, so I'm going the savoury route this time."
Anna: "What we want is a nice, golden, crunchy pancake. But I just hope Sabina got her ratio of batter mix and vegetable correct."
Anna: "The pancake has got much more filling in it than a traditional Korean pancake. Putting cabbage and carrot and red onion and potato into the batter — it's made it quite dense and quite wet. It's not feeling very pancakey."
Grace: "The pancake itself is closer to a fritter. Your prawns are very nicely cooked and they're really well marinated in the gochujang marinade. The sesame seed and honey and soy sauce dip is really quite sweet and my goodness, there's a punch to that mango and avocado salsa on the side. So they're all really big flavours and they're slightly clashing."
