Editors Review
There are so many different kinds of Korean Jeon and in fact you can make your own version by adding your own choice of vegetables, seafood, meat or just about anything! Try this recipe of Hobak jeon or in simple words, zucchini pancakes. These aren’t sweet as you may think they are, and they are not eaten for breakfast or dessert like other pancakes are. Serve these crispy brown pancakes with a dipping sauce as a party appetizer or snack. It’s also a great way to get kids to eat zucchini.Chef
