Ingredients
For the pancakes
- 25g green chillies, (see Cook’s tips)
- 40g red chillies
- 70-75g Spring onions
- 150g self-raising flour
- 100g squid rings, thinly sliced
- 150g raw shrimps, peeled, deveined and cut in half along the vein
- 1 clove Garlic, crushed
- vegetable oil, for frying
For the dipping sauce
- 15g Spring onions
- 50ml Soy sauce
- 20ml dark Sesame oil
- 10ml white wine vinegar
- 6g crushed, roasted Sesame seeds, (see Cook’s tips)
- 1 tbsp Korean Chilli powder, (see Cook’s tips)
Method
1. For the dipping sauce: in a small bowl, whisk all the sauce ingredients together. Transfer to a small serving dish and set aside.2. For the pancakes: on a cutting board, deseed the chillies and cut into thin strips about 5-8cm long. Trim the spring onions and slice into thin pieces, about 5-8cm long.
3. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and pepper with about 245ml ice-cold water. The batter should be thick, like a pancake batter, but not too thick. Adjust with more water or flour, as necessary.
4. Stir in the squid, shrimp and garlic and mix well to coat.
5. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add enough vegetable oil (or any similar neutral oil) to coat the bottom of the pan. Using a spoon, scoop the batter into the pan and make three or four 10-cm round pancakes.
6. Spread the seafood and fillings around each pancake to make it as flat and even as possible. Cook over a medium heat for about 4-5 minutes, until the edges turn golden brown (the pancake should be about two-thirds cooked through). Flip over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side. (Alternatively, you can make one big pancake and cut it up like a pizza when serving. Adjust the cooking time accordingly. The pancake should be golden brown and crispy around the edges.)
7. Serve the pancakes immediately, accompanied by the dipping sauce.

I have been looking for a great haemul pajun recipe and this is it! So flavorful yet simple. Great crowd pleaser and plan to make this again & again. Now on to the Jap Chae!
This is so easy and fast. I made it in about 15 minutes and bought all of the groceries in waitrose, but used cayenne instead of korean chilli powder. The dipping sauce is really tasty. Everyone was impressed!
