Korean Pancake (Pa Jun)


Korean PancakeI first discovered the Korean pancake while watching the free Not Your Grandmother’s Pancake podcast on iTunes. In it, Mark Bittman prepares a Korean-style savory pancake. The recipe is available from the New York Times. I used the one from How to Cook Everything. Anyways, I’ve been making this dish every weekend now for breakfast in an attempt to perfect it. I think the key is to not overload the pancake and to spread the batter thinly. For parents, pa jun is an ideal dish for toddlers who enjoy feeding themselves. Who knew that eating vegetables can be so fun. However, soy dipping sauce is not kid friendly. So, I’ve been adding soy sauce directly into the batter and find that this gives the pancakes a better flavor. Otherwise, the pancakes end up really bland without the dipping sauce. You can also find other videos on making Korean Pancakes on YouTube.
