Description

Delight in these crispy Korean spring onion pancakes, a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect as a snack or appetizer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 23 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable, canola, or sesame)
  • Dipping sauce (optional: soy sauce, vinegar, sesame seeds)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and water until smooth. Avoid overmixing; lumps are okay.
  2. Add chopped green onions and fold them into the batter.
  3. Stir in salt to the batter.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add cooking oil.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the skillet, cooking until edges are golden brown (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  7. Remove the pancake and drain excess oil on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Notes

Serve with a tangy dipping sauce for added flavor. Add shredded vegetables like carrots or zucchini to the batter for a twist.
