A seafood minari jeon that stays crispy even after cooling, thanks to a stiff batter with minimal moisture and a dry frying mix coating.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding too much water to the batter reduces crispiness, so keep it stiff enough that the flour barely holds together.
  • Coating the batter surface with dry Korean frying mix (Twigimgaru) before frying maximizes the crispy texture.
  • Making palm-sized small jeon ensures even crispiness from the edges to the center.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make jeon that stays crispy for a long time without getting soggy.
  • Those looking for a seafood minari snack that pairs well with makgeolli or beer.
  • Beginners who have struggled with controlling the water content in jeon batter.
