Cooking tips

  • If you fry vegetable jeon over low heat for a long time, they will absorb too much oil and become soggy from the moisture released by the vegetables, so fry them quickly over high heat to preserve a crunchy texture and flavor.
  • If you skip seasoning frozen pollock jeon or yukjeon with salt and pepper, they may have a fishy or gamey smell, so be sure to season them thoroughly before frying.
  • For small, loose ingredients like enoki mushrooms or cooked shrimp, it's much easier to mix them directly into the egg wash and then shape them to the desired size in the pan as you fry.
  • Yukjeon can look messy with blood marks on the flipped side, so when plating, it's best to arrange them with the clean, first-fried side facing up.
