Kimchi Pancakes

An Aro Ha favourite. We love these kimchi pancakes served with a plant-based mayo, your choice of greens, pan-fried mushrooms and sprouts. They are the perfect mixture of salty, savoury, tangy and umami. Plus, they've got fermented gut-goodness thanks to the addition of kimchi. Enjoy!
