ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 Uncle Onion green onion pancakes
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded low moisture mozzarella
  • 1/3 cup kimchi, chopped and drained

Method

  • Step 1

    To make the dipping sauce, mix together gochujang, honey, sesame oil, and water in a small bowl.

  • Step 2

    In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add in one Uncle Onion green onion pancake and cook both sides until golden brown and crispy (around 4 minutes per side). Set aside and add more oil to the pan. Add in the second Uncle Onion green onion pancake. Cook one side until golden brown and flip.

  • Step 3

    While the other side is frying, add a layer of cheddar, mozzarella, chopped kimchi, and then the remaining cheese. Add the other green onion pancake on top and press down firmly. Drizzle a few drops of water to the side of the pan and cover to steam. Once the cheese has melted and the pancake is golden on the bottom, transfer to a cutting board.

  • Step 4

    Cut the quesadilla into triangles and enjoy with the gochujang dipping sauce.
