Easy Korean onion pancake fritters (Yangpa Jeon) made with onion, flour, egg, water, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and sugar (as the main ingredients).

Ingredients

SERVES 2-4

Onion Jeon

  • 1 extra large onion (2.5-3 cups sliced/ 260g) thinly sliced
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 green onion chopped
  • oil

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar,
  • ½ tbsp sugar (Muscovado sugar)
  • ½ tsp gochujang
  • 1 green onion chopped
  • ½ tsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Make the jeon dipping sauce by mixing 1 tbsp soy sauce, ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar, ½ tbsp sugar, ½ tsp gochujang, 1 chopped green onion, and ½ tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
  2. In a large bowl, add 1 extra large thinly sliced onion, two eggs, ¼ cup water, ½ cups all purpose flour and a chopped green onion. Stir and mix thoroughly, making sure to poke the egg yolks while mixing.
  3. Add approx. 2 tbsp oil to a large, non-stick pan. Heat over medium-high to high heat. Once the oil is hot enough, add a spoonful of onion batter. Immediately use a spoon to poke and flatten so it spreads outwards. Repeat with the rest of the mixture to make approx 8 jeon. Remember to stir the onion batter frequently to prevent pooling at the bottom.
  4. Fry the onion pancakes for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden. Flip carefully with a spatula and spoon. Add more oil before frying the next batch.
  5. Serve immediately with jeon dipping sauce.
