Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

Pour enough water into a pot to cover the kelp, boil over medium heat, leave for about 10 minutes, then remove, rinse in cold water, and cut into 18cm pieces.
Remove the seeds from the green and red chili peppers and mince them finely, and mince the chives and shrimp as well.
Mix the flour with water and salt into a batter, then add the minced vegetables and mix evenly.
Dip the kelp in the batter from step 3 and pan-fry in an oiled pan until golden.
Once the kelp pancakes have cooled slightly, secure them with skewers so they can be rolled and cut.
Cut step 5 into lengths of about 4cm and serve with the anchovy fish sauce dip.

💡 TipIf the kelp is too thin it is hard to make pancakes, so choose a suitable thickness.
