Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Using zucchini and onion in a 1:1 ratio ensures the sweetness of the onion and the tender texture of the zucchini harmonize best.
  • Avoid making a wet batter; just coat the vegetables with the powder to enjoy the clean, sweet natural flavor of the vegetables.
  • When flipping the jeon, do not hesitate—toss it confidently and high so it flips cleanly without tearing.
  • Standing the edges of the jeon against the pan wall to fry in oil maximizes crispiness all the way to the edges.

Recommended for

  • Those who prefer the clean, sweet taste of vegetables over flour-heavy jeon.
  • Those wanting a crispy, spicy jeon to pair with makgeolli or other alcoholic drinks.
  • Those looking for a simple fridge-raid dish using zucchini and onion.
