In this video, I’ll going to show you how to make “jeon,” a traditional Korean food breaded with flour and eggs. There are many kinds of jeon, but this one is made with cod.
Ingredients:
Cod filets (400 grams), flour, olive oil, garlic, salt, ground black pepper, eggs, a red chili pepper, soy sauce, vinegar
- You can use fresh or frozen cod. If it’s frozen, thaw it out in the refrigerator.
- Rinse the filets in cold water and gently dry them using a paper towel or cotton cloth
- Slice it thinly and put it in a bowl.
- Sprinkle 1 ts of salt, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and 1 pinch of black pepper into the bowl of cod slices and gently mix it up by hand.
- Pour 1 cup of flour into the bowl with the cod, and mix it quickly with your hand so that the cod is lightly breaded.
- Beat 2 eggs in a small bowl and add a pinch of salt.
- Add 1 chopped green onion and red chili pepper into the beaten eggs.
- Heat a pan on the stove over medium high heat.
- Add 1 tbs of olive oil or vegetable oil to the pan.
- Piece by piece, dip your breaded cod into the beaten eggs, and then place the pieces onto the heated pan.
- Lower the heat to medium and cook it.
- Turn it over using a spatula or spoon.
- Add more oil if needed.
- On a big plate, place green lettuce on the bottom and place the cooked fish on it. Now it’s “jeon”!
- Serve it with a dipping sauce of 2 tbs of soy sauce and 1 or 2 tbs of vinegar.
