I adore Korean food. Besides the famous Korean BBQ, their pancakes are definitely on top of my list as well. Today, I’ll show you how to make this simple Korean Pancake 파전 (Pajeon). Pajeon is a savory pancake, usually made with green onions. The pancake batter usually consists of eggs, flour, rice flour, green onions, and often other additional ingredients depending on the variety. Usually beef, bork, kimchi, or seafood are commonly used. Today, I used the imitation crab meat, which is a very popular companion to the Asian ramen.
Compare to the Chinese Green Onion Pancakes, Pajeon is less dense in texture and is not made from a dough, but a batter instead. I’ve been making these Korean Pancakes quite often. Sometimes, I add a tablespoon of Korean Chili Paste in the batter for more flavors and a little spiciness. For the kids’, I usually leave it out. If you love spicy food, definitely give the chili paste a try. It’s not too spicy and it adds a depth of umami flavor to the pancake. I serve it with a soy sauce based dipping sauce and it’s the perfect company for these pancakes. Want to see how I made it, check out the video tutorial below.
