Korean DIY snack

There are lots of Korean people in New Malden and I've been trying to take advantage of the very interesting looking ingredients in the korean supermarkets.  I even got a Korean cook book from the library!  I recently made Pajon which didn't actually use any unusual ingredients at all but was delicious.

I'm not sure how popular DIY is in Korea, but I reckon they'd have this as a snack.   I kept popping back to the fridge for a piece the day after I made it, inbetween coats of paint in the living room.  You should try it! Don't get paint in the dipping sauce though!

Pajon (Korean pancake)

1. In a large mixing bowl, add 125g flour to 3 large beaten eggs and mix to a stiff paste.
2. Marinade 250g thinly sliced sirloin steak in the marinade (see below) I left it for an hour and that was plenty.
3. Cut up about 15 spring onions into 5cm pieces and split in half if they are really fat ones.
4. Add the spring onions and meat to the pancake batter, it will seem really stiff but mix it with your hand and it goes sloppier.  Add some chopped chillies if you like.
5. Fry ladle fulls  in a pan about 5 mins each side until properly brown.  
6. Serve chopped into squares with the dipping sauce (it is very nice cold too).
