Korea #8 Pa Jun (Korean Pancake)

This is a top three of all the international dishes I’ve made.  I first saw this made on “Korean Made Easy” with Judy Joo on Cooking Channel TV.  A google search showed several videos and various ways to make it.  One of my favorites was Maangchi on her YouTube channel.  Several years ago she posted a video of a Korean recipe and became an internet sensation and has since posted hundreds of recipes and written several cookbooks.  Pa Jun can be made with just scallions, or seafood and other vegetables can be added.  I made mine with scallions cut in half inch pieces, and shrimp cut in half lengthwise.  The shrimp and scallions are added to a mixture of ½ cup of flour and ½ cup of cold water, then spread in a little hot oil and cooked for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.  The pancake is then flipped and cooked on the other side.  Cut into squares and dip in a dipping sauce made of soy sauce and vinegar.
