Buchimgae (Korean: 부침개), or Korean pancake, refers broadly to any type of pan-fried ingredients soaked in egg or a batter mixed with other ingredients. More specifically, it is a dish made by pan-frying a thick batter mixed with egg and other ingredients until a thin flat pancake-shaped fritter is formed. It is also commonly eaten in Japanese households, where it is affectionately known as chijimi(チヂミ) or Kego-yaki(警固焼き).
