Buchjeon (Garlic Chive Pancakes)

Step 1

Cut the garlic chives into about 2-inch length pieces. Thinly slice the onion.

Step 2

Add the pancake mix to a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup of icy cold water and the soy sauce (or gochujang for the spicy version) and mix lightly. The batter should be thin.

Step 3

Mix in the garlic chives and onion.

Step 4

Heat one tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Ladle the mixture into the pan, and spread it evenly into a thin round shape. Cook until the edges turn light golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low if the pancake browns too quickly. Turn it over, adding more oil to the sides of the pan, and press it down with a spatula. Cook until the other side is light golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Repeat the process until there is no remaining batter and the optional spicy version. Serve with a dipping sauce.
