Papaya Kimchi Pancakes
(2018 Pairings Recipe) Sweet and spicy kimchi pancakes with a peachy cream sauce.
Ingredients
1 cup frozen DOLE Papaya Chunks partially thawed
1 cup kimchi premade roughly chopped with cup of packing juice set aside
1 cup rice flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup DOLE Pineapple Juice
2 tablespoons gochujang paste
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
½ cup creame fraiche
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
3 tablespoons DOLE Chef-Ready Cuts Diced Peaches, pureed
Directions
- Slice the papaya chunks thinly with a mandolin. Add papaya, kimchi and reserved juice, rice flour, salt, pineapple juice and gochujang in a large metal mixing bowl. Mix well with a spoon or gloved hands.
- Heat a medium non-stick saute pan over medium to high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Add the pancake mixture either in one large batch or split into desired sized pancakes and spread evenly with the back of a spoon to a thin round shape. Cook for 90 seconds and flip to reveal golden brown underside. Cook and crisp other side for an additional 90 seconds.
- Meanwhile, mix in a small bowl the crème fraiche, chives and peach puree.
- Turn the pancake over once more to ensure crisp texture on both sides before removing from pan and serving with a dollop of the crème fraiche mixture.
- Enjoy either hot immediately or cooled and cut into bite sized pieces.
