Haemul pajeon (Seafood and spring onion pancake)

Haemul-Pajeon

  • Haemul pajeon is made by lining some batter with spring onions, clams, oysters, and mussels, and topping it with more batter and beaten egg before cooking it on a skillet. The tender texture of spring onions and the refreshing flavor of seafood blend perfectly together. The dish is particularly famous in Dongnae of Busan. Dongnae pajeon was even sent to the king by the magistrate of Dongnae during the Joseon period. It is known to have originated as a lunchtime snack sold in the marketplace of Dongnae.
