Ready…Set…Go!

20 minutes to make a dish, I feel like I’m on Chopped! I love that show, I watch it all the time and think about what I would make. This week, I went with haemul pajeon, a Korean seafood pancake as an appetizer (plus I had most of the things on hand). Simple enough, you make a batter, toss in some mixed seafoods, shredded carrots, and sliced scallions, and fry it up in some oil.

As you can see, I’ve started to like the 4 grid photo thing, it’s useful. So if you’re wondering, roughly the first 10 minutes was spent chopping and getting everything mixed up. The first pancake I flipped too early, so I reflipped it. The second turned out better as I got the timing down. Finished just in time!
