Pollack pancake

동태전

What exactly is it?

Thawed pollock fillets are coated lightly in flour and egg, then pan-fried. White flaky fish sits inside a yellow egg layer rather than a thick fried crust. It is a familiar fish jeon in holiday assortments.

Main ingredients

Thawed pollock fillet, wheat flour, egg, salt, pepper, oil

Ordering and serving

Dip the cooked pieces lightly in soy-vinegar sauce. Small bones may remain even in fillets, and the coating includes wheat and egg.

Origins and changes

It combines frozen-pollock distribution with the technique of pan-frying thin fish fillets in egg. Holiday and banquet assortments use uniform slices that can be cooked in batches and shared.

Oyster pancake

굴전

Main ingredients
Oysters, wheat flour, egg, salt, cooking oil
Flavor and character
Oysters receive a thin flour-and-egg coating and are pan-fried. The light covering preserves their shape and moist flesh rather than forming a thick fritter. Pieces may be individual oysters or small clusters, served with soy-vinegar dip.
How to eat it
The oyster inside should be cooked as well as the egg coating. Dip lightly, and account for oysters, wheat and egg in the ingredient list.
