Haemoolpa Jun Pan Fried Seafood And Green Onion Pancake

SEAFOOD & GREEN ONION PANCAKE (HAEMUL PA-JEON)

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine all the dipping sauce ingredients together and set aside.
• Wash the seafood and drain. Place it in a bowl with half the crushed garlic, the sesame seeds, sesame seed oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flours with 1/4 teaspoon salt, add half the beaten egg and the remaining garlic, and slowly whisk in 2/3 cup ice-cold water. (Do not add in all the water at once, as you may not need the full amount.) The batter should be the consistency of thick pouring cream. If you are not using fish, add the garlic, salt, sesame seeds, and sesame seed oil straight into the batter.
• Place an 8 1/2-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat, add the sunflower oil, and, when hot, ladle in two-thirds of the batter. Use the back of a spoon to coat the base of the pan with the batter.
• Place the green onion strips onto the pancake, with the green ends lying in both directions, then scatter over the chilies and seafood. Add the remaining beaten egg to the remaining batter and whisk to combine, then drizzle it over the green onions and seafood so that they do not come loose when flipping the pancake. Fry over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, until the bottom is set then carefully invert the pancake onto a plate and slide it back into the pan and fry for a further 3-4 minutes, until the fish is cooked through and the pancake is golden and crispy.
• Serve up the pancake by cutting it into bite-size pieces. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

HAEMOOLPA JUN (PAN FRIED SEAFOOD AND GREEN ONION PANCAKE)

Steps:

• Trim ends from green onions and cut the roots off; wash 2 to 3 times in cold water and cut into 8 inches from white part. Drain green onions in a colander.
• Heat about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place 1 green onion in 1 direction and 1 in the other direction, repeating until 8 are used for each serving batch.
• Mix flour, water, and salt together in a bowl until batter is smooth. Pour 1/4 of the batter over the green onions in the skillet; top with 1/4 of the seafood mix. Cook until seafood is cooked through and pancake is lightly browned on the bottom, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk eggs together in a bowl. Ladle 1/4 of the eggs over pancake; cook until mostly cooked, about 5 minutes. Flip pancake using 1 or 2 spatulas and cook for 10 minutes more. Repeat with remaining oil, green onions, batter, and egg.
• Whisk soy sauce, Korean red pepper powder, vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and black pepper together in a bowl; serve alongside pancakes for dipping.
