“The word jeon (pronounced JUHN) encompasses a vast category of fritters and savory pancakes. But “fritter” and “pancake” aren’t adequate words for the breadth that the Korean word, jeon, encompasses,” Eric Kim writes. “That’s why I think of it more as a cooking style, technique or method than a single dish. The quiet practice of dipping peak-season fish, vegetables, herbs and grasses in beaten egg, then pan-frying them in hot oil is a labor of love — timeless and joy-inducing, not to mention effusively Korean.”

Eric shows us how to make three types of jeon for a party: Kimchijeon (Kimchi Pancake), Haemul Pajeon (Seafood Scallion Pancakes) and Gamja Jeon (Potato Pancakes). “Pair it all with a nice crisp lager, for a celebration of everyday wins. When there’s jeon, life itself is the party.”
