Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Mixing fragrant perilla leaves into the lettuce pancake batter at a consistent ratio helps eliminate the raw taste of lettuce while enhancing its aromatic quality.
  • Adding about half a spoonful of anchovy sauce instead of relying only on salt brings a deeper, savory flavor to the pancake.
  • Using only potato starch instead of regular flour or tempura flour ensures the pancake stays crisp even after cooling, preserving its signature crunch.
  • Since canned corn contains high moisture, always drain it thoroughly through a sieve beforehand to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a crispy, unique snack to enjoy with soju during rainy seasons or humid weather.
  • People looking to creatively use leftover amounts of lettuce and perilla leaves after eating meat wraps.
