Korean Savoury Pancake (Jeon)

Jeon is a popular late-night Korean comfort food.
This recipe makes one large pancake (1 serving).

Ingredients (Makes 1 Pancake)

• 90g YesYouCan Gluten Free Plain Flour
• 1 tablespoon potato starch (optional, for extra crispiness)
• 1 green onion, finely sliced
• ½ cup gluten free kimchi
• ½ cup tuna (or topping of choice)
• 1 teaspoon gluten free soy sauce
• 4 tablespoons water
• Oil for frying

Method

1. Finely slice the green onion and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten free plain flour and potato starch (if using).
3. Add the kimchi, green onion, tuna (or your chosen topping), soy sauce and water.
4. Mix until evenly combined. The batter should be thick, hold together, but still be spreadable.
5. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat with oil.
6. Pour the batter into the pan and spread into a round pancake shape. Gently press down to ensure even thickness.
7. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden and crispy.
8. Carefully flip and cook for another 3–4 minutes until crisp and fully cooked.
9. Remove from the pan, slice and serve warm.
