Day 16 of 26 Days A to Z Cooking Series

Boyfriend was craving for something fried so we decided to make korean pancake. It’s super easy to make especially with a pre-made batter that gives that extra crispyness.

If you don’t have a pre-made batter, just mix flour, potato starch, and baking soda.

... Read moreIf you want to achieve that perfect crispy texture for your Korean pajeon, using potato starch in your batter is a game changer. It helps absorb moisture and creates a light crunch when fried. I also recommend using cold water to mix the batter — it slows down gluten development and keeps the pancake tender. For frying, a non-stick Korean pancake pan or any heavy skillet works best to ensure even heat distribution. Preheat the pan properly and use enough oil so the pancake fries to a golden crisp. I found that adjusting the heat to medium-low once the batter hits the pan avoids burning while ensuring the inside cooks fully. For the sauce, I mix soy sauce with a pinch of sugar and chili flakes for a spicy-sweet dipping experience that complements the savory pancake perfectly. It really brings out the flavors! If you can’t find a pre-made Korean pancake mix, no worries! Mix flour, potato starch, baking soda, and cold water for a quick homemade batter. Adding seafood like prawns or green onions gives the pajeon a vibrant taste and texture. This recipe is so easy and impressive — perfect for a cozy meal or to impress friends with Korean cuisine at home.
