Cooking tips

  • Thanks to the moisture-rich eggplant, you can make a light jeon with minimal flour and no added water. The eggplant cooks quickly, so there's no need to cook it for long.
  • Instead of tuna, you can use chicken breast or pork; if you want a vegetable-only version, king oyster mushrooms are recommended.
  • If serving to children, use scallions or large green onion instead of cheongyang chili peppers.
  • If you don't have Yeondusoon (Yondu Soon), you can substitute with brewed soy sauce, tuna extract, or white soy sauce to add savory depth.

Recommended for

  • those looking for a simple side dish.
  • those who enjoy eggplant dishes.
  • those practicing a slow-aging diet.
