Kimchi Pancake Jeon Closeup[/caption]
Kimchi Pancake or Kimchi Jeon is an easy and simple recipe that uses old and fully fermented or too sour kimchi.
Kimchi Pancake (김치전 Kimchi Jeon) evokes a special memory or feeling for many Koreans, especially for those who grew up or currently live in the countryside (시골 shigol). For Koreans, rainy days, Kimchi pancake (kimchi jeon) and makgeolli go together like hot chocolate goes together with chilly wintery days for Americans.
When it rains, Koreans often say -
"OH! On a rainy day like this... I am getting a craving for some Kimchi pancake and makgeolli!!"
Long time ago when Koreans lived in Hanok (many Koreans in the country side still do), the perfect spot to enjoy kimchi pancake and makgeolli was sitting outside, on the wooden covered porch area called Teonmaru (툇마루). Here's a picture of a Teonmaru in one of the old Korean traditional homes (hanok) at Jeju Folk Village.
