4 ounces|115 grams pork belly, cut into lardons (optional)
8 ounces|225 grams fermented kimchi, roughly chopped 
¾ cup|115 grams all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons|45 grams rice flour

DIRECTIONS

2. Meanwhile in a large bowl, mix together the kimchi, flours, sugar, egg, and scallion with ¾ cup|175 ml water. Add the pork belly and mix. You can have some clumps, but it should be a slightly loose pancake batter.
3. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Add half of the batter and swirl the pan to have it coat evenly into a nice circle. Cook, flipping once, until golden on each side, about 4 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining batter, then cut into wedges to serve.
