Pajeon (green onion pancake)

Green onion pancake / 파전 / Pajeon (or pajun)

Ever since I blogged about a pancake I made with wild green onions I picked in Central Park, many people expressed interest in the recipe through my blog, email, and Facebook page.

So I decided to take another field trip to pick more wild green onions and mugwort to make video recipes with the ingredients. I still have one more video to post from Mexico, but I’ll post it later. In the spring these wild vegetables are soft and tender. Soon they will get tough, and anybody who wants to pick them wild shouldn’t do it too late in the season. My next video will be a soup and snack made with wild grown mugwort. Then the last video that I filmed in Mexico will be released.

You could use green onions from a grocery store for this recipe.

Ingredients (for 1 rectangular pancake about 6×7 inches):
Green onions, flour, water, soybean paste, sugar, and vegetable oil.

Directions:

1. Clean, wash, and drain a handful of wild green onions (or about 10 stalks of normal green onion).
2. Cut them into 5 inch long pieces.
3. Make batter by mixing ½ cup flour, ½ cup water, 1 ts soybean paste, and ½ ts sugar in a bowl. Mix well until the batter is smooth.
4. Place a non-stick pan on the stove and heat it up.
5. Add about 3 tbs vegetable oil to the heated pan.
6. Put the green onion on the pan parallel to each other, in the shape of a rectangle.
7. Pour the batter over the green onion evenly.
   *tip: If you want some seafood (chopped squid, mussels or  fresh oysters) in your pancake add it on top of the green onion before pouring the batter.
8. While the pancake is being cooked, keep patting it, pressing it slightly, and keeping it in a nice shape with your spatula.
9. A few minutes later, when the bottom of the pancake turns crispy and golden brown, turn it over.
10. Cook a few more minutes until the bottom of the pancake turns crispy and golden brown again, and flip it or turn it over.
11. Cook another minute and transfer it to a serving plate.
12. Serve hot with sauce.

Sauce:
Mix these ingredients in a small bowl:
2 tbs soy sauce, 1 tbs vinegar, 1 ts sugar or honey, chopped onion, chopped green or red chili peppers, and 1 ts roasted sesame seeds.
