Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Rapid thawing of frozen pollock fillet tends to cause fishy smell, so slow thawing in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours is best.
  • Soaking in vinegar salt water firms up the flesh and cleanly removes fishy smell.
  • If the heat is too high, the egg coating may burn before the inside cooks, so maintain medium-low heat.
  • Coat thinly with Korean pancake mix and egg wash for a clean, elegant dongtaejeon.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to remove the characteristic fishy smell of dongtaejeon and make it tender.
  • Those looking for a fail-proof jeon recipe for holidays or celebrations.
  • Those who need tips for cooking through without burning the egg coating.
