Hi guys!
Today I’m going to share one of my favorite pancake recipe, Haemul Pajeon! Korean Seafood Pancake!
It is super yummy, everybody looooooves it!!!
In Korea we eat this food with Maggeolli- Korean milky rice wine, which is AMAZING together!!
But no worries, without maggeolli, it is still faaaantastic!!!
The seafood is totally your choice, because even in Korea, you will never get the same seafood every restraints you go. But commonly calamari/squid, shrimp, clam, mussel and oysters are used for this Korean Seafood Pancake. You can put 5 different kinds seafood or just only 1 kinds. It is really up to you!
This recipe is super fun, quick and easy to make!
I used Sempio’s Tempura powder for this recipe, but if you are having hard time find one, you can make the tempura powder from scratch, just look at the recipe down below! 🙂
Oh, don’t forget to check out this delicious Korean pickled onion recipe to serve with! It is the best dipping sauce (which add lots of texture and flavor than just a vinegar soy sauce) in my opinion for Korean pancakes! 🙂
Hope you give this recipe a try on the weekend or for your crowd, they gonna fall in love whit this!
Good luck in your kitchen and have fun~!! 😀

DO you have the pancake dipping sauce recipe?
Yes! 😀 https://seonkyounglongest.com/korean-pickled-onion/
Thank you so much for this recipe and for putting a smile on my face as it tasted just like my Mom’s. She would have been proud of me!
Hello seonkyoung.. can i change the sempio tempura powder with other brand? Thanks..
You can use any tempura powder! 🙂
Hi seonkyoung, can you use Korean pancake powder for this instead of tempura powder?
Yes, you can! I used tempura powder for extra crispy, but the flavor would be the same! Sorry for the late reply though!
