Pajeon (Korean Scallion Pancake)
August 22nd, 2011Recipes, 30-Minute Meals, Recipes, Korean Recipes, Recipes32 Comments
Are you one of those who love eating Korean food because of the many side dishes served? I love Korean food because of the banchan served along with rice and the main dish. Banchan are full of surprises and there are always something new to look forward t0: kimchi, stewed potato, Korean rice cake, spicy anchovy, Korean scallion pancake (pajeon), omelet, and more. Sometimes, I stuff myself eating the banchan so much that by the time the main entree comes, I am already full…
In the Korean restaurant near my house, the ones that we often go to, pajeon or Korean scallion pancake is always served as a banchan. I love their pajeon because they are mini in shape, slightly orange in color because kimchi juice is added. I can’t get enough of the mouthwatering pajeon and often ask for more.
This is my pajeon recipe, based on the ones I have at my favorite Korean restaurant. I also made a spicy soy-vinegar sauce to go with the pajeon.

Korean Spicy Chicken Stew
Whenever I shop at Korean grocery stores, I love checking out the marinated meats section where buckets of pre-marinated meats are ready for sale. Other than the regular kalbi or beef short ribs for Korean BBQ, there is always a bucket of marinated chicken meat labeled as chicken stew. I always buy the chicken stew and make it at home but it…
Taiwanese Scallion Oil Noodles (葱油拌面)

Taiwanese food is…

Hi Aileen – here are my recommendations:
1) Chinese – China Garden and Sam Woo (BBQ Express section).
2) Korean – Korean Restaurant (the name of the restaurnat) at Heritage Square.
3) Japanese – Honda-ya, Kitayama, Shinsengumi (for Yakitori)
4) Vietnamese – Thanh
5) Thai – Thai Cafe.
Korean food is one of my all time favorites, and yes partially for all the amazing sides! These look awesome, thanks for the recipe!
The batter seemed to be too thick… I added more water, used 2 small eggs but the color isn’t yellow.. more of a pale yellow
Did you add kimchi juice?
This happened to me as well. Too thick. How should the consistency of the batter?
If it’s too thick, add some water. It’s should be somewhat thick and not watery.
Hi Ann, Jan – I double check the recipe and realized that I made a mistake in the recipe writing. It was 1/2 cup water instead of 1/4 cup. So sorry.
Love it, I made this with congee…it’s the best combination! So simple and quick.
One of my favorite Korean dishes! Never knew it was so easy to make at home…
I tried this because it looked delicious but the batter was way too thick – no way it would spread like a pancake. I added milk to loosen, but are the recipe proportions correct?
I tried it too, and it was too thick. I added nearly another 1/2 of water to thin it. My Korean student said that it was too thin, but they cooked up just fine! if anything, I would make it thinner still and more crepe like. That is how my Korean friend cooks them.
Hi, I did not add the kimchi juice but substituted with water. I think I will halve the amount of flour and see what happens… thanks!
