Korean Seafood Pancakes or Haemul Pajeon (해물파전) are often served in restaurants. They are made with seafood and green onion, but you can make use of any seafood you fancy – squid, mussels, clams, oysters, lobster, etc. Choose ingredients to suit your taste and your diet. Vegetarians can simply omit the seafood.
Tips
- Please note how the cook cut the green onion in the video. This technique is recommended as a way to release the full taste of the onions.
- The Happycall double pan speeds up the cooking process to about 6 minutes with less oil splatters. It is easy to flip the pan with the pancake.
- Variations are numerous. You may refer to other popular recipes, such as Korean Bapsang and My Korean Kitchen.
Ingredients
- 2 green onion
- 1 squid
- small prawn 300g
- 1 red chili pepper
- pancake mixture (please see below)
- egg (1 per each piece of pancake. You may cook 4 pieces in a Happycall double pan. 4 pieces require 4 eggs.)
Pancake mixture
- Korean pancake mix 500g (You can buy it at a Korean/Asian grocery store.)
- tempura flour 50g (Either a Korean or Japanese brand is fine.)
- water 550g (The ratio of mix to water is 1:1.)
- salt and pepper to taste
If you cannot find a Korean pancake mix, the following ingredients can substitute:
- cake flour 200g
- fortified bread flour 200g
- corn flour 150g
- water 550g
- salt and pepper to taste
Steps
- Preheat the double pan for 30 seconds over medium high heat. Add oil. Turn the heat down to medium.
- Add green onion. (Use the cutting technique demonstrated in the video.) Cook for about 15 to 30 seconds and then add pancake mix. (We used just a bit of pancake mix in the video. If you use more to cover the whole pan, please add at least 3 eggs in Step 4. Please note that pancake mix must not be too thick).
- Add seafood on top of the pancake and evenly spread it all over the pancake. Add more pancake mixture on top of the seafood to form another base.
- Crack open an egg on top and break up the yoke. (See video demonstration.) Alternatively, you can beat the egg in a small bowl and then pour it on top. (Steps 2-4 may take 2 to 3 minutes. If it takes less than that, please allow enough time to let the pancake cook and form a solid base before flipping.)
- Close the lid and flip to the other side.
- Let the pancake cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Open the lid and enjoy!
