Garlic Chive Pancakes



Garlic Chive Pancakes (Buchujeon) is a popular Korean appetizer or snack. Easy to make with simple ingredients and served with a soy dipping sauce. You can also add other ingredients to the batter such as sliced onions, zucchini, red chili pepper, shrimp or minced pork. Cornstarch is added for a crispier texture but if you don't have it, use all purpose flour.
