This is a delicious and easy recipe for Pajeon – Korean Pancakes. They only require a few ingredients and are ready in 15 minutes. These pancakes are both vegan and gluten free. They can be served either as appetizers or main course.
What is Jeon? It is a savory Korean flat cake that includes meat, fish, seafood or vegetables. Pa means scallion – Therefore Pajeon is a scallion pancake. This pancake is really easy to make and to vary. You can experiment using your favorite flours and add-ins. I used oat flour when I made mine, and it tured out really well! I also added some kimchi juice to the batter to make it more flavorful and a little more interesting. It’s a really nice but still subtile addition. But it is really good without the juice as well. These pancakes are good to serve either as appetizers or as main course. I served my pancakes with a savory tamari and rice vinegar dip sauce, kimchi and more scallions.
