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.

PAJEON (KOREAN PANCAKE) WITH BEET GREENS

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle over medium heat.
• Combine water, flour, and salt in a bowl. Fold beet greens and stems into the batter.
• Scoop about 1/3 cup batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining batter.

PAJEON (KOREAN SCALLION AND SEAFOOD PANCAKE)

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.
