Step 2
Stir together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, gochugaru, and sesame seeds to make the dipping sauce.

Step 4
Fold the prepared scallions through the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 5
Heat half of the cooking oil in the skillet over medium heat. Spread half of the batter into a thin, even pancake and cook until the underside is golden, then flip and cook until the center is set and the second side is crisp.

Step 6
Add the remaining cooking oil and let the skillet return to medium heat. Cook the remaining batter in the same way.

Step 7
Cut the pancakes into wedges and serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
