Steps
- 1In a medium bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, doenjang, and pepper until well combined. Gently stir in club soda, egg yolk, and garlic using a whisk. Be careful not to overmix to prevent the batter from becoming dense. Whisk the mixture around 10 times before allowing it to rest for 10 minutes in the freezer. This resting period will help any tiny lumps of flour dissolve naturally into the batter without further agitation.
- 2Prepare for pancake making by lining a sheet pan with paper towels and setting it aside. Next, take a medium bowl and add scallions to it. Gradually mix in the cold batter until the scallions are well coated and held together.
Cultural note
Pajeon, or Korean Veggie Pancakes, are a popular Korean dish often enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. They are a traditional street food in Korea and are commonly made during celebrations and festivals. The use of doenjang, a fermented soybean paste, adds a umami depth to the dish.
Seasonal note
Korean Veggie Pancakes with Green Onions are best made in the spring and summer when scallions are in season. These vegetables are fresh and abundant during this time, enhancing the flavor of the dish.
Health note
This dish is a good source of fiber, vitamins A and C, and zinc. The scallions and garlic provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the sodium content is relatively high, so it's recommended to consume in moderation.
