Kimchi jeon[Kimchi Pancake]

Kimchi-jeon (kimchi pancake) is an easy dish that can be prepared simply by pan-frying chopped kimchi mixed into a flour batter. For an even more special Kimchi-jeon, one or two additional ingredients can be added to the mix, such as ground pork or chopped squid, which both pair well with kimchi. A Dish for Many The joy of serving jeon (pan-fried delicacies) lies in the instantaneous response from those who eat them. Although, as with other foods, jeon is especially delicious when eaten in company, it is particularly fun for a group to share Kimchijeon together on a rainy day. As soon as a piping hot Kimchijeon is served, it is descended upon and torn apart with chopsticks or fingers. To provide a savory accent to kimchijeon, season the chopped kimchi ahead of time. Moreover, when mixing the batter, using kelp broth instead of water gives it an even deeper flavor. Kimchijeon has enjoyed enormous popularity in other countries, especially in Japan, ever since it was introduced in ‘A Journey in Search of Korea’s Beauty,’ a travel photo essay authored by Bae Yong-jun, a famous Korean actor and a leader of the ‘Hallyu,’ or Korean Wave (a boom in Korean pop culture in overseas countries). It is said that Kimchijeon was featured in a variety of TV programs targeting ethnic Koreans abroad. The perfect treat for a rainy day, crispy and nicely-textured kimchijeon becomes even tastier with the addition of kimchi liquid to a flour batter blended with wellripened kimchi.
