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)...
