Korean Veg & Potato Pancakes With A Spicy Garlic Soy Dipping Sauce

Don’t go calling the Korean pajeon pancake police on me… this one is far from traditional.  I had a craving for Korean pancakes, I didn’t have any kimchi at home but still fancied these, so after a little research, I discovered another Korean pancake which is made with grated potatoes called gamjajeon.  

I made up a combo of them both using frozen shredded hash browns (I know, but it so worked!!), cabbage, sliced onions, a ton of spring greens, spring onions and loads of homegrown garlic chives.  The batter is simply made from plain flour, salt, egg, water and heaps of garlic powder (just because I am a garlic fiend).  

They turned out golden and crispy on the outside with a nice chewy bite to them, and the spicy, garlic the soy dipping sauce was the perfect accompaniment.

So easy to make and fab as a snack or a side to the main meal, I served them up with some chicken satay skewers, and the kids gobbled them up even though they were loaded with cabbage.  I hope you give these ones a go!
