Buchujeon (Garlic Chive Pancakes)

Savory pancakes are a giant section of Korean house cooking. Koreans make pancakes with all types of meals — kimchi (kimchijeon), seafood and scallions (haemul pajeon), potato (gamjajeon), zucchini (hobak buchim), etc. This buchujeon (부추전) is made with buchu (부추), Korean garlic chives. It’s one other very widespread pancake at Korean homes!

Garlic chives have darkish inexperienced flat leaves and a smooth garlic flavor. Korean garlic chives are thinner and tenderer than Chinese garlic chives usually discovered in America. For this recipe, I used Korean garlic chives I grew in my backyard, but they're also accessible at Korean markets. If you can’t discover Korean chives, you'll be able to apply the Chinese form for this recipe. Look for ones with thin and slim blades.

 Buchujeon could be made merely with buchu, but I also further thinly sliced onions here. It provides delicious sweetness to the pancakes. Sometimes, I also upload thinly sliced perilla leaves (깻잎, kkaennip) and/or chili peppers. If you love it just a little meaty, upload some minced pork.

 Korean pancake blend (buchim garu, 부침가루) is finest to make use of for Korean savory pancakes. The in a position made blend consists of cornstarch, and/or rice powder for crispy pancakes and is flavored with garlic and onion powder and seasoned. If you can’t discover it, use flour and upload a pair of spoons of cornstarch or rice powder and season with salt.

 When savory pancakes are seasoned with gochujang (Korean chili pepper paste) and/or doenjang (Korean fermented soybean paste), they're known as jangtteok (장떡), so the red model of this pancake I am displaying right right here's truly known as buchu jangtteok (부추장떡). You can merely upload gochujang, doenjang or a combination. In this recipe, I just used gochujang. It provides a good spicy kick to the pancakes.

 You could make 2 big pancakes with this recipe. Cut into small items earlier than serving or merely allow the diners tear with the chopsticks as they eat. Or, make a pair of small items instead.
