The 8th episode of K-Food Webtoon Series is Pajeon!

Today we would like to introduce Pajeon, one of the most popular dishes Koreans eat on a regular basis. Recently, restaurants specializing in Pajeon (green onion pancake) have proliferated with the revived popularity of Makgeolli (Korean rice wine). Because green onions are rich in vitamins and minerals, it provides a balanced nutrition in itself.

The KCC launched the K-Food Webtoon series last April to introduce Korean food and recipes to provide an opportunity to learn to cook and try Korean food from home. We hope you will try these recipes and continue to experience Korean culture at home.

About ‘Pajeon’

Pajeon is a mixture of wheat flour batter and scallions shallow-fried on a griddle. To make pajeon, line up thin green onion stems on a cast-iron griddle. Place five or six different kinds of seafood over the scallions. Let the vegetables cook while intermittently spooning hot oil over them. Pour a batter made of flour or rice. Pajeon is popular with chilled Dongdongju (floating rice wine) in a rainy day.
