Description

A delightful dish that captures the vibrant essence of Korean cuisine with crispy texture and a burst of spring onion flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup Cold Water
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 bunch Spring Onions, sliced into 3-inch pieces
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (for frying)
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (for dipping sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar (for dipping sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds (optional for dipping sauce)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional for dipping sauce)

Instructions

  1. Start by heating your skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and allow it to become hot and shimmering.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, egg, and cold water until you achieve a smooth batter.
  3. Ensure your pan is ready for action. The oil should be shimmering but not smoking. Pour the pancake batter into the pan, spreading it evenly and thinly.
  4. Scatter the spring onions over the pancake batter in the pan. Press them gently into the batter.
  5. Fry the pancake for about 4-5 minutes on one side until it’s beautifully golden. Flip it and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes.
  6. Once both sides are golden and crisp, remove the pancake from the pan and let it drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Slice it into wedges.

Notes

Chill the batter slightly before frying to enhance the crispiness of the pancake.
