A savory and crispy Korean pancake generously filled with fresh seafood (shrimp, squid, mussels) and vibrant green scallions. Perfect as an appetizer or a light meal, especially on a rainy day.
🧂 Інгредієнти
- 1 cup All-purpose flour(Provides structure to the pancake.)
- 1/2 cup Rice flour(Essential for achieving a crispy texture. Glutinous rice flour can also be used for extra crispiness.)
- 1 1/4 cups Water(Adjust for desired batter consistency. Start with 1 cup and add more if needed.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 200 g Mixed seafood(A mix of shrimp, squid rings, mussels, or clams. Ensure seafood is bite-sized. Thaw and drain if frozen.)
- 2 bunches Scallions(Trim off roots and tough ends. Cut into lengths of about 4-5 inches (10-12 cm).)
- 1 Egg(Beaten, for binding the batter.)
- 3-4 tablespoons Vegetable oil(For pan-frying. Use a neutral oil with a high smoke point.)
- for serving Soy dipping sauce(Typically a mix of soy sauce, vinegar, and sometimes chili flakes or sesame oil.)
👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rice flour, and salt. Gradually whisk in the water until a smooth, thin batter forms. It should be pourable, similar to crepe batter. Stir in the beaten egg until just combined.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Prepare the fillings: Ensure your mixed seafood is bite-sized. If using larger pieces, chop them. Trim the scallions and cut them into lengths of about 4-5 inches (10-12 cm).
⏱️ 5 minutes - 3
Heat the pan: Place a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat (around 190°C / 375°F). Add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 4
Arrange the ingredients: Once the oil is shimmering hot, carefully arrange the cut scallions in a single layer in the pan. Distribute the seafood pieces evenly over the scallions.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 5
Pour the batter: Slowly and evenly pour the prepared batter over the scallions and seafood, ensuring everything is coated. The batter should be thin enough to spread and create a delicate pancake.
⏱️ 1 minute - 6
Cook the first side: Let the pancake cook undisturbed for about 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the bottom is set. You should see small bubbles forming on the surface.
⏱️ 7-10 minutes - 7
Flip and cook the second side: Carefully slide a spatula under the pancake and confidently flip it over. Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan if it looks dry. Cook the second side for another 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and the seafood is cooked through.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes - 8
Serve: Slide the finished Haemul Pajeon onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve immediately with soy dipping sauce on the side.
⏱️ 2 minutes
