    These Korean onion pancake fritters (Yangpa Jeon) are one of my all-time favorite snacks or side dishes. They’re crispy on the outside and taste delicious drizzled with dipping sauce.

    The key ingredients are onion, flour, egg, water, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and sugar. It’s a good budget meal that requires few ingredients.

    Ingredients
    SERVES 2-4
    Onion Jeon
    * 1 extra large onion (2.5-3 cups sliced/ 260g) thinly sliced
    * 2 eggs
    * ¼ cup water
    * ½ cup all-purpose flour
    * 1 green onion chopped
    * oil

    Dipping Sauce
    * 1 tbsp soy sauce
    * ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar,
    * ½ tbsp sugar (Muscovado sugar)
    * ½ tsp gochujang
    * 1 green onion chopped
    * ½ tsp toasted sesame seeds

    Instructions
    1. Make the jeon dipping sauce by mixing 1 tbsp soy sauce, ½ tbsp apple cider vinegar, ½ tbsp sugar, ½ tsp gochujang, 1 chopped green onion, and ½ tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
    2. In a large bowl, add 1 extra large thinly sliced onion, two eggs, ¼ cup water, ½ cups all purpose flour and a chopped green onion. Stir and mix thoroughly, making sure to poke the egg yolks while mixing.
    3. Add approx. 2 tbsp oil to a large, non-stick pan. Heat over medium-high to high heat. Once the oil is hot enough, add a spoonful of onion batter. Immediately use a spoon to poke and flatten so it spreads outwards. Repeat with the rest of the mixture to make approx 8 jeon. Remember to stir the onion batter frequently to prevent pooling at the bottom.
    4. Fry the onion pancakes for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden. Flip carefully with a spatula and spoon. Add more oil before frying the next batch.
    5. Serve immediately with jeon dipping sauce.
