maangchi, this is the first time I post but I have been a fans of you! I have tried making Bibimbap, Soon Du Bu, Yugechang, kimchi, and buchujeon! and I am looking forward to try more of your recipe! I love it now our family enjoy our weekend using your menu =) Thank you thank you thank you!!! You are sooo awesome!
however for buchujeon, i have still not succeed, it s very soggy and it did not even movable on the pan. it was a complete failure for me too =(
Does using electric heat make a different result compared to using gas for cooking it?
I will try again next time though =) thanks Maangchi =)
정함,
oh, I wish I could help you cook perfect buchu jeon!
Don’t give up. Practice makes perfect. You already seem to know what you are supposed to do next time you make it. : )
Lexi,
Mix 2 tbs soy sauce and 1 tbs vinegar! Thanks,
maangchi, cooking this buchujeon was a complete failure. I think I added too much water but I was sure I did follow your instruction of 1/2 cup of flour and 2/3 of water….haiz…
This recipe is great! I have a question on the sauce in which you eat this with..how do I make it? Thanks
네 알겠어요! 망치씨, 가르쳐 주셔서 감사합니다. 저녁을 맛있게 부추전을 요리할래요!
Please correct me if my Korean is not up to standard. I started learning Korean 2 years ago but it is still not up to standard. It was only recently after watching your videos that I took an interest in Korean cooking.
정함,
check my ingredient blog here,
https://www.maangchi.com/ingredients/chili-peppers
I said flour which means usual all purpose flour.
Do I use any special kind of flour?
Maangchi씨, you mentioned pepper in the video at around 1:18, what kind of pepper is that and where can I get it?
Rhonda,
Thank you for sharing your experience about cooking jeon. : )
Yes, you can freeze it!
Hi Maanchi! I’m so happy I found your site. Today, I made Jeon. I used what I had in my house, so that meant no chives, but green onion and spinach and squid and crab stick – oh! and spelt flour. I have bad news though. Since I don’t have a non-stick pan, I chose a stainless steel frying pan rather than my trusted cast iron skillet, and ended up with mush, which I then transferred to the cast iron pan and fried again to make a crispy pancake. In the end, it was very tasty…. I hope my posting will help other people not make the same mistake I did.
Once a month my friends and I get together to make a whole bunch of food we can freeze and eat throughout the following month, and I’m thinking mini jeon! Do you think they would freeze well?
망치, thank you for the suggestion :) i will try that. and also the other recipe. yes, id be interested in seafood green onion pancake im looking forward to ur posting in the future :D

마리,
I have never used the flour mix, but I think 2 cups of flour mix and 1.5 cup of water will be ok. Anyway leave your question on the forum https://www.maangchi.com/talk/forum/general-discussion You may get better answer from others.
Are you interested in making seafood green onion pancake? Someday I am going to post the recipe.
