Korean Zucchini Pancakes and Fish Pancakes (Jeon)

Date

Another traditional Korean side dish for you lovely people! These are traditional Korean cod and zucchini pancakes that are often served for Korean New Year. My mother always used to make these for me and I remember eating them right out of the pan as she shooed me away from the kitchen.

For Korean New Year, we often feast on rice cake soup, a meat dish and a bunch of side dishes like these little pancakes! These pancakes are so quick to make, and they taste so good dipped in a little bit of soy sauce. I decided to decorate my pancakes with crown daisy and red chili pepper to make them more aesthetic.

I hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year! Hope you enjoy this dish!
