Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Pick out any yellowed leaves from water parsley (120 g), rinse under running water, and cut into 5 cm lengths.

    Blot cocktail shrimp (150 g) thoroughly dry with paper towel.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice onion (50 g) lengthwise into strips.

    In a bowl, whisk pancake mix (120 g), cold water (160 ml), egg (1), and salt (2 g) until completely smooth.

  3. 3

    Add water parsley and onion to the batter and toss lightly with chopsticks.

    Add shrimp last and fold only 2-3 times to distribute without clumping.

  4. 4

    Heat oil (2 tbsp) in a pan over medium heat.

    Pour the entire batter in at once and spread into an 18-20 cm round. Gently reposition any shrimp so they are evenly spaced on top.

  5. 5

    Cook 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden and firm, then flip in one motion.

    Cook the other side 2-3 minutes until the edges are crisp.

  6. 6

    Mix soy sauce (1 tbsp) with a few drops of vinegar for a simple dipping sauce.

    Cut the jeon right away and serve with the sauce.
