How to Make Pajeon Korean Scallion And Seafood Pancake

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
  2. Gradually add water, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be slightly thicker than pancake batter.
  3. Add the chopped scallions, seafood, and optional kimchi to the batter and gently mix.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Pour 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot skillet, spreading it into a thin, even circle (about 6-8 inches in diameter).
  6. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Serve immediately, drizzled with sesame oil (optional), and enjoy with makgeolli or your favorite dipping sauce.
