Description

Traditional Korean green onion pancake, also known as pajeon, is a savory pancake made with green onions and other ingredients. Pajeon is a popular snack or appetizer in Korea, and it can also be served as a main course.

To make pajeon, a batter is made with wheat flour, water, and sometimes rice flour. The batter is mixed with chopped green onions, sliced seafood (such as shrimp or squid), and other optional ingredients like sliced peppers or carrots. The mixture is then fried on a pan or griddle until golden brown and crispy.

Pajeon is usually served with a dipping sauce made with soy sauce, vinegar, and sliced green onions. It's a delicious and satisfying dish that is enjoyed by many Koreans and also by people around the world who love Korean cuisine.

In addition to the traditional version made with green onions and seafood, there are many variations of pajeon that incorporate different ingredients such as kimchi, cheese, and mushrooms. Some restaurants and street vendors also offer special versions of pajeon that are larger and thicker than the traditional ones, often served in a round shape similar to a pizza.
