Korean Pancakes (Pajeon): An Incredible 7-Step Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 bunch green onions (scallions), chopped
  • 1 small carrot, julienned
  • 1 small zucchini, julienned
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Make the Batter: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, water, and the egg. Mix until smooth.
  2. Add Vegetables: Fold in the chopped green onions, julienned carrots, and zucchini into the batter. Ensure vegetables are well coated.
  3. Season the Mixture: Add salt and black pepper to taste, mixing it well.
  4. Heat Oil: In a non-stick frying pan, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. You may need more oil for larger batches.
  5. Pour the Batter: Once the oil is hot, pour about ½ cup of the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly to create a pancake shape.
  6. Cook Until Golden: Allow the pancake to cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until it becomes golden brown. Flip and repeat for the other side.
  7. Remove and Serve: Once cooked, take out the pancake and let it drain on paper towels if needed. Repeat until all batter is used.
