Kim Dae-seok's Kim Jeon

A unique jeon made by layering a mixture of egg wash, cleaned minced spam, and spicy green chili on gim, then pan-frying until crispy—without using any flour, starch, or water.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • Avoid thin gim as it may tear easily at the cut edges or when exposed to egg wash. Always use thick gim or grilling-type gim, stacking two sheets together to maintain shape during cooking.
  • Briefly blanching spam in boiling water for about 20 seconds reduces sodium intake and greasiness while enhancing tenderness and mouthfeel.
  • The spicy green chili cuts through the richness of the spam and egg, refreshing the palate. For children or milder preferences, substitute green chili with bell pepper for color and sweetness without spice.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to enjoy a crispy, distinctive fried dish using leftover thick gim or storage-type gim from home.
  • Anyone wanting a quick, clean, no-fuss dry appetizer ready in just 10 minutes—perfect for pairing with beer or traditional liquor.
