Gluten Free Korean Salmon And Scallion Pancake Pajeon Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE KOREAN SALMON AND SCALLION PANCAKE (PAJEON)

Steps:

• Place the salmon fillet in the center of an aluminum foil piece. Season with salt and pepper and pour sake or wine on top (if using).
• Wrap the salmon with the foil and cook in the oven or oven toaster for 20 - 25 minutes at 400°F/200°C.
• In a small bowl, mix all the 6 ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
• In a larger bowl, mix flour, salt, egg, water and sesame oil.
• When the salmon is cooked, remove the skin and flake the salmon with a folk.
• Add scallions and salmon flakes to the pancake mixture and mix.
• Heat a large non-stick frying pan and spray oil.
• Pour the pancake mixture and cook both sides for about 5 minutes each until lightly browned. (To flip the pancake, you can place a large plate on top of the frying pan, invert the pan over the plate, and transfer the pancake to the frying pan to cook the other side.).
• Transfer the pancake to a large plate and slice it.
• Infuse love and serve with the sauce.

KOREAN SCALLION PANCAKES (PAJEON)

Steps:

• Make the pancakes:.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper; stir to blend.
• In a separate small bowl, add the soy sauce, garlic, doenjang, and egg yolks; whisk to combine. Add this mixture and the club soda into the dry ingredients. Whisk about 10 times, then transfer to the freezer and let rest 10 minutes (this will help any remaining clumps incorporate).
• Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
• Retrieve the batter and fold in the scallion pieces. If the batter is too thick, add more club soda, 1⁄4 cup at a time, and mix well.
• Line a baking sheet with paper towels, and set it next to the stove.
• In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1⁄2 cup of the oil over high heat. Once shimmering, carefully add 1 cup of the batter to the center of the pan. Using a spatula, spread to form a 7-inch pancake; avoid letting the batter touch the sides if possible (to prevent the edges from burning before the center is cooked through).
• Lower the heat to medium and cook until the bottom of the pancake has set, 2-3 minutes. Gently slide a spatula under the edge of the pancake and lift it, tilting the pan so some of the hot oil runs underneath the pancake. Cook until the bottom is crispy and deep golden brown, 2-3 minutes more. Carefully flip the pancake, being careful not to let the oil splash, and cook on the remaining side until golden brown and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.
• Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, letting the paper towels absorb any excess oil.
• Place the pan back over high heat, and add 2-3 tablespoons more oil if needed. Repeat the process until all the batter is used. To keep the finished pancakes warm and crispy, set them in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in a low (200°) oven.
• Cut each pancake into pieces and serve with the dipping sauce on the side.

PAJEON (KOREAN SCALLION AND SEAFOOD PANCAKE)

Steps:

• Trim the small green onions and scallions and cut them into 4-inch lengths. Wash oysters, clams, and hard-shelled mussels in brine (5 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of salt) and drain on a wicker tray.
• Slice oysters, clams, and hard-shelled mussels.
• Beat "A" with a whisk into a light batter and mix half the chopped seafood in the batter. "A" can be bought pre-mixed in bags in Korean food stores (just ask them).
• Place the green onions and scallions parallel in an oiled pan at a low heat and ladle a scoop of the batter onto them.
• After the patty cooks slightly, sprinkle the sea food and spread a little bit of batter again on the top.
• Turn the patty and fry until each side becomes appetizingly yellowish brown. Serve the pan-fried green onion and sea food with vinegar soy sauce mixed with "B".
• You can make this recipe with chives instead of green onions, and omitting the seafood if you like. Try putting your favourite veggies in there.
