Dongnae pajeon · Busan
The aristocrat of Korean pancakes: whole spring onions bound in rice-and-wheat batter with seafood, griddled crisp outside and left custardy within.
Dongnae pajeon belongs to Busan's old walled town, where the Dongnae market sat on the road to the hot springs. Local records tie it to the spring-onion harvests of the Nakdong delta and to offerings for the Dongnae magistracy; the dish survived as a market-day and rainy-day ritual. Dongnae Halmae Pajeon, four generations in, still griddles the canonical version, thick with onions, clams and prawn under a soft egg finish.
