Kim Dae-seok's Apple and Radish Jeon

A unique fritter that combines the refreshing crispness of seasonal radish with the bright sweetness of apple, using an ice water batter to achieve a snack-like, ultra-crispy texture.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid cutting radish and apple too long, as this can make the batter uneven and cause the fritters to tear easily when flipping.
  • As the fritters sit, moisture from the radish may seep out, so the batter should appear slightly dry and thick—this ensures they stay crisp and don’t become soggy upon completion.
  • Adding half a spoon of squid sauce enhances the overall flavor depth without artificial taste, giving the fritters rich umami that makes dipping in soy sauce unnecessary.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a unique twist on typical kimchi pancakes or scallion pancakes, craving a balance of sweetness and crunch.
  • Fans of snack-like crisp edges paired with a satisfyingly chewy interior.
  • Ideal for rainy days or hungry afternoons when you want to quickly whip up a speedy appetizer using leftover radish and apples from the fridge.
