khapi

Khapi is a traditional Korean dish. It is a type of savory pancake or fritter. The main ingredient is usually a finely shredded or chopped vegetable. Common vegetables used in khapi include zucchini, potato, or kimchi. These vegetables are mixed with a batter made from flour and water. Sometimes, egg is also added to the batter to bind the ingredients and enrich the flavor.

The mixture is then pan-fried in oil until it is golden brown and crispy on both sides. Khapi can be served as a side dish, a snack, or even a light meal. It is often accompanied by a dipping sauce, typically a soy sauce-based mixture that may include vinegar, chili flakes, and sesame seeds. The texture of khapi is a key characteristic, with a delightful contrast between the crispy exterior and the soft, tender interior. Variations of khapi exist across different regions of Korea, with slight differences in ingredients or preparation methods. It is a popular comfort food and is enjoyed by people of all ages.
