Paraejeon is a popular Korean pancake made with seaweed. It’s a simple yet delicious dish that’s perfect for a quick snack or side dish.
Ingredients:
- Dried seaweed
- Flour
- Water
- Salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the seaweed: Soak the dried seaweed in water until it becomes soft and pliable. Rinse it thoroughly to remove any impurities.
- Make the batter: Mix flour, water, and salt to form a batter.
- Combine seaweed and batter: Add the seaweed to the batter and mix well.
- Fry the pancakes: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Pour the batter onto the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes hot with a dipping sauce, such as soy sauce mixed with vinegar and chili peppers.
Tips:
- Freshness: Use fresh, high-quality seaweed for the best flavor.
- Batter consistency: The batter should be thick enough to coat the seaweed but thin enough to pour easily.
- Oil temperature: The oil should be hot enough to fry the pancakes quickly, but not too hot to burn them.
