  1. MIX THE BATTER

    In a bowl, combine the BBQ sauce and the Gochujang (to taste). Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Add the spring onion whites, the cabbage, and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined.

  2. FRYING FRENZY

    Place a pan over medium-low heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of plant-based butter (optional). When hot, add all [½]|#7DA0D7 the Cabbage batter and spread out across the pan in an even thickness of about 1cm. Fry until set and golden brown, 6-7 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel.
