Pajeon (Korean Scallion and Seafood Pancake) image

This is a favourite Korean appetizer. It's any time of day (breakfast or lunch), and often eaten with maccoli (homestyle rice wine) on rainy days with friends in Korean pubs.

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

100 g of small green onions
50 g scallions
1/3 cup clam
1/2 cup oyster
1/2 cup of hard-shelled mussels
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup rice flour
1 egg
2 cups water
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons red pepper powder
1 tablespoon of finely chopped green onion
1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Trim the small green onions and scallions and cut them into 4-inch lengths. Wash oysters, clams, and hard-shelled mussels in brine (5 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt) and drain on a wicker tray.
  • Slice oysters, clams, and hard-shelled mussels.
  • Beat "A" with a whisk into a light batter and mix half the chopped seafood in the batter. "A" can be bought pre-mixed in bags in Korean food stores (just ask them).
  • Place the green onions and scallions parallel in an oiled pan at a low heat and ladle a scoop of the batter onto them.
  • After the patty cooks slightly, sprinkle the sea food and spread a little bit of batter again on the top.
  • Turn the patty and fry until each side becomes appetizingly yellowish brown. Serve the pan-fried green onion and sea food with vinegar soy sauce mixed with "B".
  • You can make this recipe with chives instead of green onions, and omitting the seafood if you like. Try putting your favourite veggies in there.
