Korean Green Onion & Shrimp Pancakes With Vinegar Dipping Sa

"Wonderful Appetizer! You can also make these to take along on a picnic - keep in a cooler if you use shrimp or other meat or have them vegetarian. Try using left over chicken, vegetables or other meats. In Korea this is called "Pajon" and is a typical street vendor food. Use chopsticks or you fingers. This recipe was originally from Eating Well Magazine (1993)"

directions

  • Dipping sauce: combine soy sauce, cilantro 1 chopped green onion, vinegar, sugar & sesame seeds. Leave at room temp or refrigerate.
  • Pancakes: Beat 1 egg and 2 egg whites together with a fork.
  • Whisk in the flour, 1 tbsp oil, and water.
  • Batter should be smooth and medium thick.
  • Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
  • Cooking the Pancakes:

  • Beat remaining eggs & egg whites.
  • Heat 1 tsp oil in a skillet or a large non stick griddle, medium-low heat.
  • Pour out approx 1/2 cup batter (6-8" circle).
  • Lay 1 fourth of the shrimp on top of the pancake along with 1/4 of the green onions, carrots, zucchini, & chives.
  • While the pancake is cooking spoon 1/4 of remaining batter over the pancake to fill the spaces between the veggies. After approx 3-5 minutes when the egg mixture has begun to set flip the pancake. Cook until browned pressing down quite hard with a wide spatula to ensure the batter cooks through. Repeat with remaining batter, shrimp & veggies.

  1. This was a lot of FUN! We just loved this. I used 1 tablespoon vinegar in place of 1 1/2 teaspoon. Also added fresh grated ginger and hot sesame oil. All for the dipping sauce. I did need more egg for the second batter. Skipped the chives. Thanks for a great recipe.
     
  2. Good start but it needed something. What? I don't know. Loved the sauce.
     
  3. DH loved these. I made this as an appetizer for two pancakes. Be sure to cut the veggies into small chunks, The first one I made didn't come out as good as the second. Served with Recipe #83203, Recipe #30457 and Recipe #30769. Great meal.
     
  4. This was great! I had the weirdest craving for a pancake like this (even tho ive never had one before...weird) and this recipe satisfied it soooo well...Don't expect something like a scallion pancake, as this definitely is much egg-ier, but i thought it was GREAT. The dipping sauce was really good. This made more than 4 pancakes, but we might have just made them smaller..we used it to serve about 5 people for a dinner main dish. so good! (used leftover chicken instead of shrimp, and cooked it in some sesame oil instead of veggie). i cant wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow (i tasted it cold too, tastes yummy!) xD
     
  5. The dipping sauce was great! I added a little sliced lemongrass and juice along with some hot chili oil. I really wasn't a fan of the pancake. For me, there were too many eggs. Maybe I will try this again without so many eggs, but I did love the sauce!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging. Here are a few of my photos <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" allowNetworking="all" allowFullscreen="true" src="http://w615.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w615.photobucket.com/albums/tt233/Bergylicious/ABM slideshow/d95d7a18.pbw" height="360" width="480">
