Today, a Korean recipe from “365 Days’ Diet Foods” sent in by alert reader, UltraBob. Pajong is a savory pancake served with a fiery dipping sauce. It makes an exotic side dish to grilled meat or chicken.
Scallion and Bean Sprout Pajong
serves 2
1/2 bundle scallions (nira)
5 cm leek
1/4 carrot
60g bean sprouts
3 Tbsp flour
4 Tbsp water
1 tsp sesame oil
Sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp toubanjan (Korean chili paste)
Cut the scallions to lengths of 5cm, cut the leek along the grain, and cut the carrot thin.
In a bowl, mix the flour and water. Combine the scallions, leek and carrots with the bean sprouts and gently stir into the batter.
In the frying pan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Spread the vegetables in a thin layer to fill the pan and fry both sides until lightly browned. Remove from pan and cut into wedges.
Whisk the sauce ingredients together and serve as a dipping sauce.

Also, you’ve got a mite to many opening parenthesis there matey.
