Korean Pancake (Pajeon)

Korean Pancake (Pajeon)

A crispy-edged savory Korean pancake packed with green onion - perfect with a soy dipping sauce on a rainy day.

Ingredients

  • 150 g flour
  • 180 ml ice water
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Whisk flour, egg and ice water into a thin batter.
  2. Lay green onions in a hot oiled pan and pour batter over.
  3. Fry until the edges are crisp and golden, then flip.
  4. Cut and serve with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce.

💡 Chef's tip

Press the pancake flat and resist flipping too early - let one side fully crisp before turning.

Using ice-cold batter and a generous amount of hot oil is the trick to lacy, crispy edges rather than a soft, doughy pancake.
