Korean haemul pajeon with seafood and scallions

A Korean scallion and seafood pancake made with wheat and rice flour, pan-cooked and served with a soy vinaigrette.

Haemul pajeon combines plenty of scallions with pieces of mussel, clam, and oyster. This version follows the preparation documented by Korea.net: a wheat-and-rice-flour batter, seasoned seafood, and pan-cooking on both sides. Serve it hot with a simple soy-and-vinegar sauce.

  1. 01

    Rinse and season the seafood

    Assemble and cook the pancake

    Heat a pan and add the oil. Pour in some of the batter and spread it into a pancake shape. Arrange the scallions, seafood, and chilies on top; add the remaining batter and the beaten egg. Cook over moderate heat for 5 minutes, until the underside has set, then carefully flip. Cover the pan and cook for 3 more minutes, until the pancake is cooked on both sides and the seafood is fully cooked.
