Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The key to great flavor is to coat the cabbage lightly—if too much batter clings on, it becomes pasty like a flour wallpaper, so gently scrape it off with your fingers.
  • If the cabbage stems are tough, they may not cook through properly, so be sure to break them well or gently pound them with the back of a knife before frying.
  • Tearing the jeon apart by hand and dipping it in a spicy soy sauce with cheongyang chili pepper maximizes the natural sweetness of the cabbage.
  • It's a great cost-effective option for a late-night snack, light bite, side dish for rice, or accompaniment to makgeolli.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy a savory and sweet special jeon with minimal cost and simple ingredients.
  • Those looking for a non-greasy, non-spicy, stomach-friendly late-night menu.
  • Those seeking an easy jeon recipe to make casually during holidays or on rainy days.
