PAJEON PANCAKES
14 to 20 stick green onion [scallion] stalks
1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c water
1 Tbsp miso paste [fermented soybean paste]
3/4 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp sea salt
vegetable oil [for frying]
PAJEON SAUCE
2 Tbsp soy sauce, dark
1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp finely chopped shallot
1 Tbsp finely chopped baby chives
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

1. Cut the green section of the scallions into 5" to 6" sections. [Pancakes look more lovely when the stalks are somewhat uniform].
2. Prepare the batter by combining the flour, water, miso paste, sugar and salt and whisking until smooth.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Place onion on hot oil in a square that looks like a "picket fence".
4. Pour batter evenly over onions. Fry for a few minutes until bottom of pancake is golden brown. Using a large spatula, carefully flip pancake and repeat process.
5. Serve hot [with Pajeon Sauce]!
6. For Pajeon Sauce, simply combine soy sauce, vinegar, honey, shallots, baby chives and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
