Easy- A mix of Seafood – 6 crab sticks, 1 scallop, 3 cuttlefish, 2 arctic surf clams
- 6 spring onions
- 186g plain flour
- 1/2 an onion
- 350ml of water
- 4tbsp vegetable oil
- 1.5tbsp fish sauce
- 1/2 tbsp gochugaru
This recipe makes four pancakes if using an 8-inch pan but the number you make depends on the size of the pan used. We made these for a picnic, alongside some Korean Chive Pancakes and everyone really enjoyed them! Completely vegetarian (feel free to switch the fish sauce for salt if preferred).
In our recipe, we use a mix of seafood- basically what we had to hand. However, you can change the seafood ingredients- perhaps to squid, shrimp, prawns- it is up to you! In total you need about 80 gram of seafood. We also added in some gochugaru to just add a bit of spice and to vary the taste a bit from the Korean Chive Pancakes. Feel free to use more/less gochugaru depending on your spice tolerance and preferences!
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
First, chop the spring onions into inch-long pieces, and then chop the onion.
Step 2
Chop the seafood that you are using.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix the flour with the water to create a batter, then add the fish sauce and mix well. Add the chopped spring onions, onion, seafood and the gochugaru to the batter and mix well.
Step 4
Heat some of the oil in a pan, making sure the whole pan is covered. Once the oil is hot, pour in around a quarter of the batter, and spread it out to make sure it is of equal thickness, and cook on medium-high heat for around 4 minutes until the bottom becomes slightly golden. Make sure the pancake does not burn but crisps up a bit.
Step 5
Flip the pancake, then cook on the other side for a further 4 minutes or so, until slightly golden. You may need to add a bit more oil when cooking on the second side.
Step 6
Repeat the same process with the rest of the batter- but prior to pouring the batter in, make sure you add vegetable oil again.
Step 7
You can either serve the pancakes straight away, or if using for a picnic, let these pancakes cool on a wire rack for around 10 minutes, then cut into pieces prior to serving. Enjoy!
