Method

  1. 1

    Combine the cold rice, chopped kimchi, grated cheddar, eggs, flour and spring onions in a large bowl. Mix well — the mixture should hold together when pressed.

  2. 2

    Season with a little sesame oil and salt.

  3. 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.

  4. 4

    Scoop the mixture into the pan and press flat into round pancakes about 1 cm thick. Cook for 4–5 minutes each side until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot, cut into wedges, with a dipping sauce of soy sauce and a drizzle of sesame oil.
