Savory and spicy kimchi pancake bites cooked in a bubbling hot pot, served with a tangy gochujang dipping sauce. Perfect as a fun and interactive snack or appetizer.
**Prepare the Pancake Batter:** In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, water, soy sauce, and sugar. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
**Add Kimchi and Green Onion:** Add the chopped kimchi and sliced green onion to the batter. Stir gently to incorporate.
**Prepare the Dipping Sauce:** In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey (if using). Set aside.
**Prepare the Hot Pot:** Fill the hot pot with water (or broth if preferred) and bring to a simmer.
**Cook the Pancake Bites:** Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the kimchi pancake batter into the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can shallow fry the pancake bites directly in the hot pot if it has a section for frying.
**Hot Pot Cooking:** Place the cooked kimchi pancake bites, enoki mushrooms (if using), and tofu cubes (if using) into the simmering hot pot. Allow them to heat through.
**Serve:** Serve the kimchi pancake bites directly from the hot pot with the gochujang dipping sauce on the side.
