Gajijeon

(가지전, Eggplant Jeon)

Gajijeon is a traditional dish originating from South Korea. This type of jeon (pan-fried battered food) is made with a combination of eggplants, flour, eggs, salt, and oil. The eggplants are cut into slices, sprinkled with salt, then coated with flour and dipped in beaten eggs.


The slices are then pan-fried in hot oil on both sides until golden brown. Once done, gajijeon is served hot with a dipping sauce on the side. If desired, the dish can be garnished with sesame seeds.
