Korean-style pancake salad is an amazing blend of Russian tradition and Eastern spiciness. Its history roots in the search for new flavor combinations when delicate pancakes met spicy ingredients of Korean cuisine. Thin strips of pancakes resemble noodles, while beef tongue adds richness. Pickles add crunchiness, and napa cabbage brings freshness. Cilantro reveals aroma, and Korean-style carrots add sharpness. The dressing made from soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar creates a harmony of flavors – sweetness, sourness, and a hint of spiciness. This salad can be served as a standalone dish or an original appetizer. It is perfect for those who appreciate bold combinations and unusual textures.

This dish is suitable for both cozy family dinners and festive gatherings.
