Hi everybody!
I'm at the beach!
The beach is over there. (laughs)
I'm going to make so simple and delicious easy recipe.
Buchu-jeon.
Chive pancake.
With this: buchu.
I got this from a Korean grocery store yesterday, before coming to the beach.
Once I see this buchu I can't help but buy a lot amount.
With this buchu I make kimchi, I make pancakes, I make all kinds of stuff.
Let's get started! It smells so good!
We have to make batter.
First, I need flour, just all-purpose flour.
Three quarter cup.
Half cup...
... and this is a quarter cup.
And we need water. The same amount, three quarter cup.
So a half cup...
...and a quarter cup.
2 teaspoons fish sauce.
But if you are vegetarian, use salt. Just mix.
See? This kind of density.
Now we are going to add chives and some onion.
So this is 4 ounces. I measured and washed, so clean now.
So I'm going to chop it up!
And we gotta add onion!
This onion makes it more tasty. A little sweet and a little crispy.
Quarter cup.
Ok, mix.
Let's cook. We are going to panfry this.
So, medium high heat.
Heat up the pan.
Cooking oil, about 1 or 2 tablespoons.
Just generously.
And...
It depends on the size of your pan,
Spread this.
I still have some left over so I may have to make 2.
So you see? you need a nonstick pan.
The botoom is a little crispy. See?
It's time to flip over.
(laughs) Put it back.
Again cooking. To make it more crunchy add some more cooking oil
Just about 1 tablespoon. Just a little drizzle.
This buchujeon is so easy! I make this all the time.
And a good side dish everybody loves this.
When I lived in Korea
I met this lady and one day she invited me to her house.
And I went there. And she said: "Oh, I'm making buchujeon!"
And I was curious about how she makes buchujeon.
What's her version?
She put the chopped buchu in a bowl, and the flour. She didn't even measure.
Just flour, and water and salt.
She used salt! And mixed, and made a pancake.
So easy! But it turned out so good.
And later I just added chopped onions.
So when I added chopped onions it was more tasty.
And also I'm kind of a big fan of fish sauce, as you know.
(laughs) And then, make it more delicious.
Ok. Wow nice! Come on, look at this!
Ok, turn off.
Looks so good!
Let's eat outside. I want to show you the ocean view.
You can serve this as it is, or with rice.
(laughs)
Chive flavor is amazing and also chopped onion makes it a little sweet and crisy.
So that's why I make this pancake all the time.
Today we made chive pancake.
In Korean: buchujeon.
Enjoy my recipe, see you next time! Bye!
