Bite-sized Kimchi-jeon is a traditional Korean savory pancake made with naturally fermented Kimchi as the main ingredient, combined with wheat flour batter, squid, and green onions, then pan-fried into mini bite-sized pancakes. The exterior is crispy while the inside remains moist, with the characteristically tangy, deep umami and gentle heat of well-fermented Kimchi. Similar in form to European blini or mini pancakes, the complex flavors from traditional Korean fermented ingredients make it truly distinctive. It is ideal as an appetizer or snack served with a soy dipping sauce.

Yes, this product contains allergens that must be declared under EU Regulation 1169/2011. Specifically: ① Gluten — contains wheat flour, ② Crustaceans — contains fermented shrimp sauce, ③ Molluscs — contains squid, ④ Soybeans — contains soybean oil. People with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity, or those with allergies to crustaceans, molluscs, or soybeans should avoid this product.

No, this product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. The ingredients include fermented shrimp sauce (crustacean-based fermented condiment) and squid (mollusc), both of which are animal-derived. The product also does not carry Halal certification and is therefore not recommended for those following a Halal diet.

The Kimchi used as an ingredient in this product is naturally fermented napa cabbage prepared using the traditional Korean fermentation method. Just like European sauerkraut, cheese, and wine, the fermentation process creates complex umami and a pleasantly tangy flavor profile. However, this product itself is not a fermented finished product — it is a frozen, heat-cooked savory pancake that uses fermented Kimchi as an ingredient. The deep, rich flavor that fermented Kimchi provides is the defining element of the overall taste of the pancake.

This is a frozen product (store at −18°C or below) and can be cooked directly from frozen without thawing. Cooking is straightforward: heat a frying pan with cooking oil over medium-high heat, place the frozen Kimchi-jeon in the pan, and cook each side for 3–4 minutes until golden brown. In an air fryer, cook at 180°C for 8–10 minutes, flipping once halfway through, for a crispy result. Microwave cooking is not recommended as it reduces the crispy texture. Do not refreeze once thawed.
