Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- 1 bunch chives

Recipe 🍳
- Cut the chives into roughly two knuckle-length pieces.

- Add 1 tbsp minced garlic for aromatic flavor and mix until everything is evenly combined.
- Just before cooking, add a generous amount of breadcrumbs to the batter and mix lightly for maximum crispiness.
- Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan, then spread the batter thinly and cook until golden brown.
- Transfer the crispy buchujeon, cooked on both sides, to a plate and drizzle with a little tonkatsu sauce to finish.

- Spread the batter thinly in a well-oiled pan, cook until crispy on both sides, and drizzle with tonkatsu sauce.
Cooking tips 💡
- Breadcrumbs become soggy quickly when mixed with liquid, so add them right before cooking to achieve ultimate crispiness.
- Adding minced garlic to the batter infuses the whole pancake with a rich, savory garlic flavor as it fries.
- Instead of the traditional soy-vinegar dipping sauce, drizzle with tonkatsu sauce to complement the crispy texture and create a gourmet taste.
