Pajeon

Pajeon is the pancake Koreans eat when it rains, a crisp‑edged, chewy‑centered griddle cake dense with scallions, cut into wedges and dragged through a soy dipping sauce. It's beloved precisely because it's simple.

Ours arrives hot from the pan as a starter while your grill comes up to temperature. Split it across the table with a round of makgeolli, the traditional pairing, or alongside fried chicken wings if you're building a spread.
