Cooking Instructions

  • Clean, wash, and drain a handful of wild green onions (or about 10 stalks of normal green onion).
  • Cut them into 5 inch long pieces.
  • Make batter by mixing ½ cup flour, ½ cup water, 1 teaspoon soybean paste, and ½ teaspoon sugar in a bowl. Mix well until the batter is smooth.
  • Place a non-stick pan on the stove and heat it up.
  • Add about 3 tablespoon vegetable oil to the heated pan.
  • Put the green onion on the pan parallel to each other, in the shape of a rectangle.
  • Pour the batter over the green onion evenly.
  • While the pancake is being cooked, keep patting it, pressing it slightly, and keeping it in a nice shape with your spatula.
  • A few minutes later, when the bottom of the pancake turns crispy and golden brown, turn it over.
  • Cook a few more minutes until the bottom of the pancake turns crispy and golden brown again, and flip it or turn it over.
  • Cook another minute and transfer it to a serving plate.
  • Serve hot with sauce.

Notes

If you want some seafood (chopped squid, mussels or fresh oysters), add it on top of the green onion before pouring the batter.
