- Share via
Dear SOS: I would like to obtain a recipe from Woo Lae Oak in Beverly Hills. They serve fluffy seafood pancakes called Pa Jun that are served with a tangy dipping sauce, which my husband and I love so much. Please, can you help us?

Dear Heather: These pancakes are a popular, traditional Korean recipe often served for special occasions. They also make a great appetizer. The seafood may be replaced with mixed vegetables, but pork, beef or chicken would not be suitable, according to chef Yun San Lee.
Dipping sauce
Combine the soy sauce, green onion, carrot, bell pepper, pepper flakes, sugar, oil and garlic in a bowl. Serve with the pancakes. Makes about 1/2 cup.
Pancakes
Combine the flour, potato starch, water, eggs, salt, garlic and sesame oil in a bowl. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, combine the green onions, shrimp, squid and green and red peppers. Gently mix into the flour mixture.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then pour in the mixture and cook until both sides are golden and crispy, about 5 minutes a side. Cut into wedges and serve with dipping sauce.
