Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • If the batter becomes too thick, the flour flavor will overpower the dish. The key is to make it as runny as soup or juice.
  • To fully enjoy the tender, chewy texture and subtle aroma of jajae, cook it gently over medium-low heat instead of frying it crispy.
  • If chives are too long, they may cause the jajae meat to fall out when eating with chopsticks. Cutting them into 3cm lengths helps prevent this.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a unique and refined seafood pancake appetizer that pairs perfectly with makgeolli or traditional Korean spirits.
  • People who prefer soft, melt-in-your-mouth pancakes over crispy, crunchy ones.
  • Those who want to savor the fresh fragrance of spring chives alongside the savory umami of clam meat, balanced with a rich, oily richness.
