Gochujeon

(고추전)

Gochujeon is a traditional dish originating from South Korea. This type of jeon (pan-fried battered food) is made with a combination of green chili peppers, fish sauce, onions, flour, and oil. The chili peppers and onions are chopped and mixed with flour, water, and fish sauce.


The mixture is pan-fried in oil on both sides until the pancake turns golden brown. Once done, gochujeon is served hot with rice or a dipping sauce on the side. There are many variations on this type of jeon, so it can also be made with whole chili peppers, or there can be additional ingredients for the pancake, such as chicken and garlic.
