Cooking tips

Overmixing the batter develops gluten and makes it tough, so mix lightly until some dry flour is still visible to keep it crispy.
Adding one egg to the batter helps bind the ingredients like a dumpling filling, so the jeon holds its shape and doesn't fall apart when frying.

Recommended for

Those who want a crispy-outside, moist-inside kimchi jeon.
Those looking for a savory and spicy snack on a rainy day or as a late-night bite.
