Kimchi pancakes

Here is a fun breakfast idea for you: kimchi, mushroom and cucumber pancakes. I originally got the batter idea for this from @pierceabernathy mushroom and chive pancakes and then I experimented with different fillings. I used Sinto Gourmet Korean garlic sesame hot sauce which was a great topping. If you are not a hot sauce fan, I also enjoyed dipping in a little ginger/soy sauce combo. 

Here’s how to make them:
