Korean Savory Pancakes Recipe (Pajeon Recipe)

soy sauce

honey

rice vinegar

water

sesame oil

garlic (peeled and grated)

red pepper flakes (optional)

scallions

carrot

all purpose flour

cornstarch

sugar

salt

egg (lightly beaten)

garlic glove (peeled and grated)

vegetable oil (divided)

Combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, then give it a good stir and turn the heat down to medium-low. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, until slightly reduced and thickened.

Slice the scallion into 1-inch pieces. Cut the carrots into very skinny matchsticks (or julienne).

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the seltzer, egg, and grated garlic. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined (there will be lumps). Gently fold in half of the scallions and carrots.

Heat two tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a 10&quot; cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, pour in half of the batter and use the spatula to spread the batter out toward the edges of the pan. Scatter half of the remaining scallions and carrots over the top of the raw batter. Use the spatula to make sure they are partially submerged in the batter so they won't fall off when you flip the pancake.

Fry for 4 to 5 minutes, until the pancake is golden brown and the vegetables are lightly charred. Flip and cook another 4 to 5 minutes on the other side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.

Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan and repeat the process with the second half of the batter and veggies. Slice the cooked pancakes into pieces and serve with the warm dipping sauce.

Pajeon. A savory, crispy pancake made with green onions served with a delicious homemade dipping sauce. A simple and easy Korean scallion pancake recipe using minimal ingredients made in 15 minutes! This serves well as a starter or side dish.

Easy 15-min. Pajeon (Korean Scallion Pancake)

tbsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)

onions

all-purpose flour

potato starch (or cornstarch (do not sub with rice flour

tsp baking powder

tsp salt

chicken bouillon powder

garlic powder

onion powder

water (very cold)

soy sauce (regular or all-purpose kind)

tbsp rice vinegar (or white vinegar)

tbsp sesame oil

tbsp green onion (finely chopped)

Wash green onions to remove any dirt. Pat them very dry with paper towel. Trim off the roots and split the onions down the middle so the thick white part is split into half. Chop them into 1.5 inch long pieces and transfer the green onions into a large bowl.

Add the remaining batter ingredients on top of the green onions and mix until combined. Do not over mix.

Heat a large non-stick pan (about 11 to 12 inches wide) over medium-high heat and pour in 2.5 tablespoon of vegetable oil or any neutral oil.

Once the oil is hot, swirl the oil around in the pan and add only the green onions into the pan with tongs. Evenly and thinly spread green onions across the pan. Then scrape out the remaining batter with a spatula and pour it over the green onions filling in any holes. You can also swirl the pan or use a spatula to spread the batter evenly so it fills in the gaps.

Reduce to medium heat and fry until the bottom is crispy golden brown and the onions are slightly charred with small bubbles forming all over the pancake, about 3 minutes.

Once you have a golden brown crust and the batter looks solidified, flip over with a large spatula. Pour remaining oil along the edges of the pan. Swirl the pancake in the oil to prevent it from sticking.

Fry until the other side is golden brown and the onions are a bit charred, about 2-3 minutes. Press the pancake down a few times with the spatula to make the pancake crispy.

Transfer the large pancake to a cutting board and slice with a sharp knife into small squares or wedges and transfer to a large serving plate.

In a small bowl, combine dipping sauce ingredients and serve with pajeon.

It’s easy and I jazzed mine up with sliced mushrooms and chopped up pre-cooked prawns. What I would feedback - I’d probably put half the amount of baking powder in? It leaves a very specific kind of bitterness otherwise. Second time I’ve made this, so I think next time I’ll try just half of the baking powder

I made this with gluton free flour and it's is amazing. Thank you.

Delicious, quick and easy lunch. I added some finely grated carrot too.
