Frequently Asked Questions:

Expand All:
Can I use fresh kimchi instead of aged kimchi?

For the best flavor, aged kimchi is recommended, but fresh kimchi will work too. You may want to add a bit more kimchi brine for flavor.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes! Substitute plain flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour for a similar texture.

What if I don’t have kimchi brine?

If you’re out of kimchi brine, add a splash of soy sauce or a small pinch of salt for added flavor.

Do I have to add sugar?

The sugar balances the tanginess of the kimchi, but it’s optional. Feel free to adjust based on your taste!
