I love turnips - they are mustardy, peppery and so tasty. They complement the kimchi flavour so well in these pancakes - they are high in fibre too! It’s a great recipe to learn for the new year as it’s a quick, easy, healthy lunch and incorporates fermented foods which, as you probably know from Absorb, are great for your gut and offers stronger immunity in the winter season. There’s so many recipes for kimchi online, and Absorb have their own too (I use Maangchi’s) if you want to make it yourself or learn more from one of their workshops or you can use shop bought. Enjoy!
