Perilla Pancakes

Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Korean Inspired

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white flour
  • 1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1-2 Tablespoons dwaen jang (fermented soybean paste)
  • 1 cup water
  • Cooking oil
  • 15-20 kkaenip (perilla leaves)

Instructions

  • Mix the first five ingredients. Add enough water to reach the consistency of a thick batter. Not too runny, but thick enough to substantially coat the leaf.
  • Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dip the leaf to coat one side and flip to coat the other side and place it in the skillet. Repeat with remaining leaves, but do not overcrowd the skillet. Let cook for about 1-2 minutes or until browned and flip.
  • Cook for another 1-2 minutes or until browned.
  • Serve immediately!
