Step 1

Combine the kimchi, spring onions, sesame seeds, sugar and flour in a bowl, season with a little salt and add about ½ cup of cold water to make a thick, chunky batter. Mix well. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add about 2 tbsp of the vegetable oil – the oil in the pan should be nearly ½ a centimetre deep. Pour about ½ a cup of batter into the pan for each fritter, repeating until the pan is full, and fry them until they’re just set, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the fritters and drizzle a little sesame oil over each. Fry for a further 2-3 minutes until cooked through and crisp. Remove the fritters from the pan and repeat with any remaining mixture. Place the fritters on a serving plate and scatter with extra sesame seeds.
