👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1
Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, and salt. Gradually whisk in the cold water until a smooth, thin batter forms. It should be the consistency of heavy cream. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon more water at a time. If too thin, add a tablespoon more flour. Set aside.
⏱️ 5 minutes
2
Prepare the fillings: Trim the scallions to about 4-5 inches long. If using seafood, ensure it's cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces. If the pieces are large (like shrimp), consider cutting them in half. Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl.
⏱️ 5 minutes
3
Combine and cook the first side: Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat (around 190°C / 375°F). The oil should shimmer but not smoke. Pour about half of the batter into the hot pan, swirling to create a thin, even layer. Immediately arrange half of the scallions and half of the seafood (if using) evenly over the batter. Cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, and the edges start to lift.
⏱️ 6-8 minutes
4
Flip and cook the second side: Carefully slide a spatula under the pancake and flip it over. If the pancake seems to be falling apart, don't worry; it will hold together. Drizzle another tablespoon of oil around the edges of the pancake. Cook the second side for another 4-6 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. You can gently press down on the pancake with the spatula to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
⏱️ 4-6 minutes
5
Add egg and finish: Once the second side is golden, pour the beaten egg evenly over the top of the pancake. This helps bind everything together and adds a nice finish. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the egg is just set.
⏱️ 1-2 minutes
6
Repeat and serve: Slide the cooked pajeon onto a cutting board. Repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining batter, scallions, seafood, and oil to make the second pancake. Cut each pajeon into wedges and serve immediately with the soy dipping sauce on the side.
⏱️ 10 minutes

💡 Proffstips

✓For extra crispy edges, ensure the pan is hot enough and don't overcrowd it. Add a little more oil around the edges as it cooks.
✓Using very cold water for the batter is crucial for achieving a light and crispy texture.
✓Don't overmix the batter; a few small lumps are okay.
✓Adjust the amount of scallions to your preference. For a more intense scallion flavor, use more.
✓The dipping sauce is essential! A simple mix of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a pinch of sugar is classic. Add gochugaru (Korean chili flakes) for a kick.
