Korean Green Onion & Shrimp Pancakes With Vinegar Dipping Sauce 🥢
Description:
Wonderful Appetizer! You can also make these to take along on a picnic – keep in a cooler if you use shrimp or other meat or have them vegetarian. Try using leftover chicken, vegetables, or other meats. In Korea, this is called “Pajon” and is a typical street vendor food. Use chopsticks or your fingers. This recipe was originally from Eating Well Magazine (1993).

Cooking the Pancakes:

- Pour out approximately 1/2 cup batter (6-8″ circle).
- Lay 1/4 of the shrimp on top of the pancake along with 1/4 of the green onions, carrots, zucchini, & chives.
- While the pancake is cooking, spoon 1/4 of the remaining batter over the pancake to fill the spaces between the veggies.
