Pa Jeon

Korea people usually eat ‘Pa Jeon’ in rainy days, and it is very good friend of Makkoli. Nowadays, Pa Jeon is called Korea pizza or Korean pancake by many foreigners. The Pa Jeon is related with rain and the story from the old Koreans’ life. Korea was an agricultural people, so they usually do farm working. When they had a rain, they could not work. Thus, they spent time to clean their house or fix their farming gears. Even though they could not do work, they needed to eat something. However, at the time, rice was the most valuable food, so they had to find some other food. Then, it was the Pa jeon which was made by flour.

Here is my special Pa Jeon recipe

Green onion (80g), flour or Pa Jeon mix powder: can have this from Korean market (80g), egg (60g), salt (4g), cooking oil (24g), and water (150ml)
