Cooking tips

  • Making fine vertical slits on the thick, firm stem portion prevents the leaves from curling upward when cooked, allowing them to lie flat against the pan and cook evenly.
  • Using 1 tablespoon of potato starch and very cold ice water, and keeping the batter thin and not too thick, ensures the pancakes won’t become sticky or doughy—resulting in maximum crispness.
  • Adding about 1/2 tablespoon of anchovy sauce to the batter gives the pancake a subtle, deep umami flavor compared to using just salt, making it richer and more savory.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a simple, crunchy pancake to enjoy with makgeolli on rainy days or during a hungry afternoon.
  • People who want to fully highlight the sweet, nutty flavor of fresh seasonal spring onions in their cooking.
  • Anyone curious about the perfectly balanced, spicy-sour homemade sauce that cuts through the richness of the pancake.
