Recipe

Cooking tips

  • When hollowing out the eggplant, use a regular water bottle cap; if the inner flesh is stubborn, poke with a chopstick to remove easily.
  • Since the scooped eggplant flesh is very moist, only use half of it in the filling to avoid making the mixture too wet.
  • Do not overstuff the filling; keep it slightly lower than the thickness of the eggplant ring so it doesn't spill out when flipping.
  • Instead of flour, a minimal amount of egg and potato starch helps bind the filling together, making this a healthy recipe.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to reduce flour intake and enjoy a healthy gluten-free jeon dish.
  • Those who dislike the mushy texture of eggplant and prefer a crispy outside, moist inside.
  • Those looking for a clean and savory snack to pair with makgeolli on a rainy day or for a light evening meal.
