Description

Jeon (Korean: 전) is a fritter or pancake in Korean cuisine made by seasoning whole, sliced, or minced fish, meat, and vegetables, and coating them with wheat flour and egg wash before frying them in oil. Jeon can be served as an appetiser, a banchan (side dish), or an anju (food served and eaten with drinks). Some jeons are sweet desserts; one such variety is called hwajeon (literally flower jeon). As jeon as such a versatile food, they are included in many Korean menus.
