Recently I have been watching too many Korean Drama on Netflix and got me craving for Korean food. One of the Korean food I craved for the most is Korean Pancake (Haemul Pajeon). It is a pan fried batter filled with toppings which is very similar to the savoury crepe in western cuisine. The recipe which I am sharing here is the most basic and popular which everyone is familiar with.; Korean Seafood Pancake. You can simply mix the batter and customise your own toppings by adding in your favourite ingredients. In the video below, I shared four different flavours of pajeon which includes kimchi flavour, cheese and bacon, seafood and mala. Many people should be familiar with Kimchi Pajeon and Seafood Pajeon as they can be found in most Korean restaurant's menu. Mala and cheese is my personal favourite, hence I thought why not add these flavours into my pancake? It turned out simple awesome. The batter can be kept in the fridge for 2 days and you can mix in the ingredients before frying the pancake. If you have other interesting flavour that you think I will be interested in, feel free to leave me a comment! I will be interested to try in out.
