Doenjang Tofu and Lotus Root Jeon is a savory Korean pancake that combines the earthy flavors of fermented soybean paste (doenjang) with the mild, nutty taste of lotus root and tofu. This fusion creates a hearty and satisfying dish that is beloved for its rich umami flavor and unique texture. Often enjoyed as an appetizer or side dish, this jeon is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making it a delightful treat for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. The addition of scallions and sesame seeds enhances its aromatic profile, while the dipping sauce adds a tangy and spicy kick. Its simple preparation and wholesome ingredients make it a favorite in Korean cuisine.

Directions

Step 1

Drain and press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Grate the lotus root and finely chop the onion and scallions.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix the grated lotus root, crumbled tofu, chopped onion, and scallions. Add doenjang, minced garlic, and sesame seeds.

Step 3

Slowly add flour and water to the mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms. Adjust consistency if needed.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Scoop batter and flatten into small pancakes in the pan.

Step 5

Cook each jeon for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed.

Step 6

Serve hot with a dipping sauce made of soy sauce and a dash of vinegar or chili, if desired.
