Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Always boil clams starting from cold water and stir gently in one direction—this prevents them from closing tightly and keeps the meat from shrinking.
  • Using the top layer of clam broth instead of plain water adds a rich, savory depth to the entire pancake.
  • Cut perilla greens into about 2cm pieces—too thick and they may not blend well into the batter.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy premium pancakes combining fragrant spring greens and chewy seafood.
  • People looking for a delicious appetizer to pair with rice wine, especially on rainy days or weekends.
