Buchu Buchimgae(Garlic chives Pancake)(Eng)

Buchimgae is one of my favorite appetizers… They are known to be perfect for rainy days.

It works as a hearty snack, an appetizer, or a side dish to a Korean or Asian meal.

Buchu Buchimgae(Garlic chives Pancake) is great!  It is easy to make.

Buchu is the Korean word for “Garlic Chive”.

 It is similar to chives you see around here, but a bit taller and thicker. You can buy easily from Asian grocery stores.

Chives are high in vitamins A and C, potassium, and calcium. Its sulfur compounds have antibiotic properties.
