Chive Pancakes (Buchujeon)

1. 1

   Clean chives and cut into 2 inch long pieces.

2. 2

   Make batter by mixing flour, water, egg, salt and sugar. Whisk well until batter is smooth.

3. 3

   In a mixing bowl, add chives and then pour batter but do it in gradual amounts to make sure you don't have too much batter.

4. 4

   Heat frying pan on medium high heat. Add 2 tsp of vegetable oil for a 10 inch pan.

5. 5

   When oil moves around freely like water, when swirled, pour chive pancake mixture and spread it out with spatula on pan. A mistake you can make here is to make the pancake too thick.

6. 6

   Cook for about 2 min or until about 70% of surface looks cooked.Turn it over and add another 1~2 tsp vegetable oil around the edges of the pan. Cook for another 2 min or so until nicely browned.

7. 7

   While pancake is cooking, make a simple Dipping Soy Sauce and serve either with some sesame seeds or chopped green onions or chive flowers like I did here!

8. 8

   Transfer pancake onto a cutting board and cut into squares or diamonds. You can also just serve it whole and allow people to just cut it at the table.
