Theme 5: Korean style pancakes (“jeon”)
 |
| Korean vegetable pancake with soy-rice vinegar dipping sauce |
I love Korean pancakes called jeon. The beautiful thing about jeon is that
you can use any ingredients! In this theme, I will show you how I would make a
simple but flavorful pancake batter that works every time (just using flour,
egg, water, salt & pepper!) I hope you can create your own version of
Korean style pancake today!!
Cooking
Tip:
Make the
batter using flour, egg, water, salt & pepper. The key is to make the batter not too thick
or thin: you want it to be like thick pancake batter. Use water to adjust the
consistency.
Easy Korean

cup), egg (1), onion (1, med size, thinly sliced), carrot (1 med, thinly sliced

Steps:
1. measure
out 1 cup of flour (I use all purpose flour, but you can use any type of flour) and
pour in a bowl.
2. Crack an egg in a measuring cup and fill water up to the ¾ c mark) and whisk with a fork until the egg is evenly distributed.
3. Add egg mixture on top of the flour and start mixing until the batter achieves a thick pancake-like consistency.
4. Mix batter with onion and carrot, few pinches of salt and some pepper.
5. Heat the pan on medium heat until hot, add oil, add batter using a ladle, shake the pan or spread out batter to about ¼ inch thickness.
6. Flip over when the edges start turning golden brown and bubbly inside, cook about 3 min until all veggies are cooked and golden brown.
7. Serve with a Korean pancake sauce (soy sauce diluted with rice vinegar will really bring out the flavor of the pancake!)

You can add
sliced zucchini, kimchi (my favorite!), meat (I like to use cooked meat, esp. pork),
cooked shrimp, etc.
