Gochujang Lentil Spinach Jeon is a delightful fusion dish that marries the spicy, umami-rich flavors of Korean gochujang with the hearty, earthiness of lentils and fresh spinach. Jeon, a popular Korean pancake, is typically made with various vegetables and meats, but this version is completely plant-based, making it both nutritious and suitable for a halal diet. The spicy gochujang paste brings a bold kick that is balanced by the subtle sweetness of onions and the freshness of spinach. The crispy exterior contrasts beautifully with the tender, flavorful interior. Loved for its versatility and satisfying taste, this dish is perfect as an appetizer or a main course, and it appeals to both vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.

In a large bowl, mix the flour, water, gochujang, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add the drained lentils.
