Queens Buchim Garu Pancake Mix
A ready-to-use, everyday pancake mix that effortlessly makes perfectly crisp and pleasantly chewy, savory Korean pancakes. Entirely gluten free and pre-seasoned, our recipe is a blend of the best organic and whole ingredients, free of preservatives and artificial flavors. We use two different rice flours to keep pancakes super light and continuously crisp and crunchy. All you need is water and a mix of your favorite vegetables and proteins and you’ll have the most satisfying, customizable pancakes.
Flavor notes: clean, savory, irresistibly crispy, golden brown crust
Creative uses: Simply toss your vegetables and protein with a light sprinkling of Buchim Garu and a splash of water to loosen the dry mixture into a barely-there paste. Spread into a thin layer and fry in a shallow pan with plenty of oil over medium-high heat to create an even, crisp crust quickly without absorbing so much oil. Alternatively, dust chicken wings or tofu in Buchim Garu with a small amount of baking powder and let them rest overnight in the fridge. Bake them in the oven at 425F until they are cooked through for better-than-fried, crispy baked wings or tofu with extra crunchy, blistered skins.

A San Francisco based Korean superette started by Clara Lee and Eddo Kim. They opened the hybrid market-deli in the Inner Sunset neighborhood. The superette’s shelves, full of direct-from-Korea essentials and local products they love, represent their Korean-American identities.
Queens is the couple’s ode to the delis their relatives opened when they immigrated to America, called banchan jip, or a place that specializes in banchan. “Those were really needed in terms of preservation and survival for people of our parents’ generation because they were always working and needed places like that to grab staples,” Kim said.
