Green and grassy June, with its sweltering summer days and cloudless clear skies. Around the middle of the month begins the rainy season. In these gray and damp summer days, haemul pajeon, with its buttery scent, is the must-eat delicacy in Korea. Why do Koreans enjoy eating this pan-fried dish during the wet season? There are many answers, but the general explanation has to do with the similar sounds of pan-frying and raindrops falling. When people hear the rain splash down, what comes to mind is the spattering of frying haemul pajeon.
