In Korean cuisine - there are many different types of pancakes.
These are different than the American, Italian or French style
pancakes or crepes- for these are not meant for dessert
for they are not sweet. I suppose you could have them for
breakfast but typically in Korean households or restaurants-
they are a side dish also known as "banchan".
A very easy veggie jeon is taking some basic vegetables that
most of us have on hand- carrots, onions and potatoes and
shredding those up.
I also added some green bell peppers and zucchini simply
because I had some in the frig. I shredded them up and
gave a loose chop as well to make them into very small pieces.
I then added 1/2 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of water to start.
You can add a little more water as you need it to make your mix
easily scoop-able. You don't want too much liquid but you are not
making meatballs either so you don't want it too thick.
Add a teaspoon of salt and use your ice cream scoop to mix
and scoop into your frying pan with a drizzle of oil. When each side
has browned a little- they are done! I prefer no sauce with these
but some are known to eat jeon with soy sauce or even ketchup.
Yes, you know about those ketchup lovers- those who put ketchup
on EVERYTHING! Whatever floats your boat!
