making a lotttt of jeons
Day-off cooking =P
This is the seafood green onion pancake. Hmart has these frozen assorted seafood packs & they’re great for this!
The bottom side of the seafood pancake. I know the ones at restaurants are like... more golden & crispier than these but I’m trying to limit the oil I use so lately, I’ve been going for a longer/slower/lower heat cooking method for these, as opposed to hot oil cooking that’s almost like half-deep fried. You know what I mean?
Also made mini seafood pancakes without the green onion.
KIMCHI PANCAKE =)
Due to my laziness. .. haha if I’m making pancake, I basically make a loooooottt & have leftovers for tmr’s breakfast or work meal. I wanna re-use my apparatus & stuff so that I only have to clean once. I have also saved some & froze it. It’s still tasty upon reheating!

Squid kimchi pancake(Kimchijeon)
Small kimchi pancake with squid and onion is a delicious Korean dish that makes for a great appetizer or snack. It is made with a simple batter of flour, water, and egg, and is mixed with kimchi, squid, and onion for added flavor and texture. The pancakes are then pan-fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside, while remaining tender and flavorful on the inside. This dish is perfect for…

chicken soup master, sunway geo avenue.
was to visit my friend at her new apartment hence exploring new food at new locations. all of us girls love korean food but the guys not so much, what a coincidence. XD
anyway, we decided to try the chicken soup at this place, which uses nuengi mushroom to cook the chicken stuffed with sticky rice in soup, very similar to ginseng chicken soup but smells really nice because the mushroom is awesome.
the portion we ordered is for four, but you can definitely share with more people as there’s lots of rice inside, we all wished that there were more soup though, it’s very comforting and enjoyable to drink, and we were completely stuffed as well. also ordered the kimchi pancake to share, because we all love it.
their kimchi is also pretty good, very satisfying meal and a good time catching up with friends, it was quite last minute but it was definitely awesome. good place to visit if you want to try some warm hearty chicken soup.

Kimchi Jeon (Savory Kimchi Pancakes)
Yields: 4 servings Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10-15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup well-fermented kimchi, roughly chopped
1/4 cup kimchi juice
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup potato or corn starch
1/2 cup cold water
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3-4 scallions, thinly sliced
1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil or neutral-flavored cooking oil
Optional additions:
1 tablespoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) for extra spice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Other vegetables: thin strips of carrot, onion slices
Dipping sauce ingredients:
Soy sauce
Rice vinegar
A pinch of sugar
Toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions:
Make the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, potato/corn starch, kimchi, kimchi juice, egg, water, and scallions. (Include any optional ingredients you'd like). Mix until a slightly thick batter forms.
Heat the pan: Heat a large skillet or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a thin layer of oil to the pan.
Cook the pancakes: Pour about 1/2 cup of batter into the hot pan, spreading it into a thin, even circle. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Add sesame seeds if desired.
Serve: Slice the pancakes into wedges and serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
Tips:
Well-fermented kimchi: Using older, well-fermented kimchi provides the best flavor and acidity.
Consistency check: The batter should be the consistency of a slightly thick pancake batter. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water. If it's too thin, add a bit more flour.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Cook one or two pancakes at a time to achieve the best crispiness and an even cook.
Experiment: Feel free to add seafood, thinly sliced pork, or other vegetables to your pancakes.

Jeon feast~
Wayyyy back when, I did not like pancakes much but then . .. my preferences changed lol I find jeons (Korean pancakes) really tasty & easy to make. Occasionally, I buy them from H-mart as well.
This is one I’ve seen numerous times in the frozen aisle but can never bring myself to buying it bcos it’s so pricey. .. but these were on sale so I got a bag.
You can cook them in 2 ways: frying pan method or conventional oven.
Yeah . here’s another one but too bad you can’t see what the picture looks like -.-” it is a mixed seafood pancake (also mini-sized).
Cooking instructions indicate pan-frying but I’m sure conventional oven works too.
This is what the mini pancakes look like when you take them out of the package. The seafood ones are significantly smaller. They’re like 1.5inches in diameter. Really small! The kimchi ones are larger, & I think there were like 12 total in the bag.
I used the pan-frying method to cook both.
Here’s the final product. The seafood ones were kinda weird. They have these grid marks on them; I’m sure they’re from the mould but I didn’t expect them to have the lines. Maybe it’s to ensure each pancake is the same size. The kimchi ones, as you can see, look homemade/handmade bcos they’re of slightly different sizes.
What do they taste like?
I’ll start with the kimchi pancakes. They tasted homemade! I liked the fact that their shape varied; it felt authentic. I liked the taste as well but honestly, it is something I can make. As for the seafood ones. .. they were very soft compared to the kimchi ones; with sprinkles of green onion, carrot, & seafood (primarily squid). So occasionally you’ll bite into small chewy (squid) pieces. As expected, these ones were bland, esp after you’ve tried the kimchi ones. I don’t think I will buy these seafood ones again just bcos there really much substance in them. It was mostly batter.
