Cooking tips

If the raw ingredients are too dry, the flour won't stick, so after washing the vegetables and seafood, gently shake off excess water to retain some moisture.
For the crispiest texture in jeon, using potato starch instead of corn or sweet potato starch is the best secret.
When pan-frying, pressing down hard with a spatula will squeeze out the delicious juices, so lightly grease the spatula surface with cooking oil and press gently as if smoothing it out.

Recommended for

Those who want to fully enjoy the natural crispiness and aroma of the ingredients without a thick flour batter.
Those who want to make a high-quality home bar snack that pairs perfectly with makgeolli on a rainy day.
