Yukjeon

(육전)

Yukjeon is a traditional dish originating from South Korea. This type of jeon (pan-fried battered food) is usually made with thinly sliced battered beef. The beef is marinated in a soy-based sauce, and it's then coated with rice flour or eggs and flour before it's pan-fried in oil.


The marinade often consists of soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, sugar, garlic, and pepper. Once fried, yukjeon is garnished with scallions and served warm with a dipping sauce on the side. If properly prepared, the meat should be very thin and extra tender.
