Jeon
Jeon is a traditional Korean savory pancake that can be made with various vegetables, seafood, or meats. One of the most popular variations is pajeon, made with green onions. In Korea, it's often prepared for special occasions, such as rainy days or holidays, as its warm and crispy texture perfectly complements a hot beverage. The secret to Jeon lies in spreading the batter thinly and evenly, ensuring a crispy exterior and soft interior. The combination of freshly cooked Jeon and a soy sauce dipping sauce offers a true Korean culinary experience.
