Cooking tips

  • Excess moisture in the seafood will make the pancake soggy and cause ingredients to separate, so be sure to pat them dry with paper towels.
  • The key to Dongnae pajeon is not pressing down but swirling the pan to achieve a moist, thick texture.
  • Scoring the thick scallion stems ensures they cook through evenly and look neat.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a traditional Busan Dongnae pajeon with a soft, moist texture at home.
  • Those looking for a hearty seafood snack that pairs well with makgeolli or traditional liquor.
  • Those who want to make a well-harmonized pancake by controlling seafood moisture and coating with egg wash.
