Cooking tips

You must thoroughly remove moisture from the shrimp or seafood with a paper towel to prevent the batter from becoming soggy.
If you press down firmly with a spatula after flipping the pancake, the seafood will lose its volume and the inside will become soggy, so just let it cook as is until golden brown.

Recommended for

Those who struggle with their scallion pancakes turning out soggy whenever they make them at home.
Those who want to quickly make a crispy drinking snack that pairs perfectly with makgeolli.
