Every month, Jae Eun Yoon presents The Taste of Korea – an exploration of a variety of traditional and modern dishes. In the first segment, chef Jeoung Park offers up his recipe for a delicious savoury meal of Korean seafood pancake.

Korean seafood pancake originates from the city of Busan in South Korea. Jeoung Park, the author of this recipe, began his career in 1991 as a chef in Korea and now teaches Asian commercial cookery at Sydney's Crows Nest TAFE.

Ingredients

250g all-purpose flour
200g cornstarch
1/2 tbsp salt
3 eggs
320ml cold water
200g shallots, sliced
200g garlic chives
200g Korean zucchini
30g onion, sliced
20g red chilli pepper
200g medium prawns, shelled, deveined, halved lengthwise
200g cleaned squid, bodies cut into 1cm rings, large tentacles halved
150ml vegetable oil

Soy dipping sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 1/2 tsp Asian sesame oil

Preparation

To make the soy dipping sauce, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar and sesame oil in a small bowl. Set aside.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch and salt. Whisk the egg with the water, and then add the egg mixture to the flour mixture.

Add the shallots, garlic chive, zucchini, onion, red chilli, prawn and squid.

In a non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil until hot.

Spread the mixture, thinly covering the whole pan and cook over high heat for about 3 minutes or until the bottom is crisp and browned. Carefully flip the pancake and cook other side for about 1 minute or until set.

Cut into slices and serve the pancake with soy dipping sauce.

This dish is normally eaten with Korea's traditional rice-based wine.
