Korean Haemul Pajeon (Seafood and Scallion Pancake)
A Korean scallion pancake with mussels, clams, and oysters, served with a simple soy-and-vinegar dipping sauce.
Haemul pajeon brings scallions and seafood together in a golden pancake, a variety of jeon in Korean cuisine. This version follows the Korea.net recipe, using wheat and rice flour, egg, and a soy vinaigrette.
