For the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, gochugaru, sesame oil, sesame seeds and spring onions and set aside. For the batter: In a large bowl, gently whisk together the water, rice flour, self-rising flour, dwenjang, black pepper and salt until smooth. Add the prawns, spring onions, scallops, red chiles, garlic and green chiles and mix to coat well and evenly. Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, spoon in one-third of the batter and spread out evenly to make a rectangular pancake measuring about 6 by 7 inches (15 by 18 centimeters). Fry until golden brown and crispy on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip over carefully and cook until the other side is golden, another 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Working in batches, make 2 more pancakes, drizzling in more oil as necessary, about 2 to 3 tablespoons per pancake, and adjusting the heat down as needed. Cut the pancakes into pieces of desired size and transfer to a serving plate. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.
Why this Seafood Pajeon Korean Pancake works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Seafood Pajeon Korean Pancake works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
