Korean Chive Pancake - Buchujeon (부추전)
Korean Chive Pancake (Buchujeon) uses Garlic Chives and is one of those foods that may seem like there is not much difference between different recipes but just like how there can be big difference in taste and texture between a plain ol' breakfast pancake that you get from McDonalds and pancakes that you get from a famous breakfast diner, you can actually have an amazingly good chive pancakes and oh, so-so Buchujeon that you get from any old Korean restaurant.
The key to making the best Korean chive pancake is the batter to chive ratio. As my mother-in-law used to say, "It should look like you don't have enough batter and too much chives". When making Korean chive pancakes or any other buchimgae/jeon, Chives or any other main ingredient should NEVER be swimming in batter but be just barely covered in batter. I have to confess, I always have doubts every time I make it. 'Should I add more batter?'...is what I always ask myself and then most times I am able to stop myself and make an amazingly flavorful chive or zucchini pancake.
