Last Wednesday, it rained the whole day in Seoul. That inspired me to prepare “kamja jeon” (kamja – potato; jeon – grilled) or potato pancake for dinner. Koreans prefer to eat this during the rainy days of summer with beer or makkeoli (a traditional alcoholic beverage).
Kamja jeon is a simple dish prepared with potatoes and onion. I learned to cook it from my mother-in-law last year, during a week’s vacation at their home. The onion is used to prevent the grated potato from turning brown. Other ingredients like green onions and carrots can be added to the mix. It should be partially drained to prevent from sticking to the pan.
Recipe:
3 medium potatoes, grated (use a baby food grater)
1/2 of large onion, grated
1 green onion, chopped
1/4 small carrot, chopped
1/2 tsp salt (or 1 tsp depending on your tastes)
Procedure:
1. Grate the onion in a bowl first.
2. Grate the potatoes and mix with the onion.
3. Add other ingredients.
4. Partially drain the mixture.
5. Prepare a non-stick pan. Coat it slightly with oil.
6. Fry one ladle-full at a time.
This is one of my favorite Korean foods. You’d better eat in moderation or else you might need some diet pills in the future.
