Pajeon (Scallion Pancake)
Makes 4 servings.
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cooking time: about 10 minutes
- Total time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup rice flour
- ¾ cup cold water
- 5 green onions (green part), cut diagonally into about 2-inch pieces
- ½ onion, thinly sliced
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Add the all-purpose flour and rice flour to a large bowl. Use a fork to mix them together. While you’re mixing, slowly add ¾ cup of cold water to the bowl. The batter should have a thin, pancake-batter-consistency. If you prefer a thinner batter, you can add more water little by little to adjust the consistency.
- Add the cut green onions and sliced onions to the batter. Mix well.
- Add about 2 to 3 teaspoons of oil (enough to coat the bottom) to a large skillet. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add ½ cup of the batter to the pan and evenly spread it into a flat circle. Cook the batter until it’s until golden brown on one side (about 3 minutes). Flip the pancake and cook the other side until it’s golden brown. Move the pancake to a plate to serve.
- Repeat the process with the rest of the batter. Add more vegetable oil to the pan as needed to keep the batter from sticking to the bottom. Adjust the heat as needed to keep the batter from burning.
