Pajeon is a Korean-style green onion pancake recipe. It is a savory, delicious pancake that can be prepared quick and easy. I’m using rice flour in this video, so it’s actually a gluten-free pancake recipe, but using all-purpose wheat flour is fine. You can use either chives or scallions for this recipe (or both).
What You Need To Make Pajeon
1 bunch GREEN ONIONS
1 EGG
¼ cup RED BELL PEPPER
HOT PEPPER (optional)
½ cup FLOUR
½ cup WATER
2-3 Tbsp OIL for cooking
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)
sauce:
¼ cup RICE VINEGAR
¼ cup SOY SAUCE
CHILI-GARLIC SAUCE (to taste, optional)

How to Make a Pajeon Green Onion Pancake
- Combine flour and cold water and mix well, the batter should be thin.
- Chop slender green onions into approx. 1 inch pieces and add into batter (thicker onions should be sliced lengthwise first).
- Add red bell pepper and any hot pepper (optional) to batter and combine all until ingredients are well coated.
- Heat oil in a non-stick skillet on medium high. Adjust temperature as needed through out cooking, but make sure the oil is hot before adding the batter.
- Add batter to hot skillet and shape into a pancake shape. Make 1 big pancake, or 2 smaller pancakes; this recipe can serve 1 to 2 people, although I generally eat it all, since it’s quick and easy to prepare, and I often make it when I’m just cooking for myself.
- Add salt and pepper to taste (remember that the sauce will have have soy sauce)
- After 3 minutes, pour a beaten egg over the pancake top.
- Cook until the cake is golden brown on bottom, about 4-6 minutes.
- Turn the cake (or flip it–but with confidence!) and cook the eggy side for about 2 more minutes.
And that’s it! Serve hot with a dipping sauce.
Dipping Sauce
Combine equal parts rice vinegar and soy sauce and mix well. Adding a little chili-garlic sauce is a nice touch, and and will provide a nice bite. For a sweeter sauce, add a little hoisin or plum sauce, or just 1-2 tsp sugar.
