Despite careful planning of menu and breaking up raw food materials into smaller portion so as to minimize wastage, you will still come to a point where there will be bits and pieces of "leftovers" left forgotten in the fridge. With the world facing a shortage of food and millions are dying of starvation everyday, it is just not right to dump edible leftovers away where in other parts of the world, people will kill for these scrapes...


Inspired by daily Korean soap dramas, chopchopkalipok would like to introduce you to this wonderful instant pancake mix product readily available at Korean food shop. This amazing product is priced at less than $5 for a packet. My only gripe is the preparation instructions are written in Korean. However, chopchopkalipok gathers that this Korean pancake mix should not differ from any other ready to use pancake mix. I simply mixed it to a nice thick consistency with little water. You can also do so with some milk for more flavor. This product is so smooth that sifting the mix will not be necessary.

The mix is already flavored so any additional flavoring is entirely your choice. Slice up all the left overs and simply dump them into the mixture. The difference about doing Korean pancakes is the batter should be just "enough" to coat and hold all the sliced up ingredients during the cooking process. Spoon the content onto a hot lightly greased non stick pan. Let the pancake mixture cook for a few minutes or so.


Use a fork to lift the pancake just a little to check that the pancake is done and nicely brown before you attempt to flip the pancake over. You may need to adjust fire appropriately and cook the other side till it is nicely brown.


Serve hot with a little mayonnaise or sambal chili. Have a great weekend.
