Hi. I like pa jun but I mind when ordering it that the scallion is kind
of old and I don't get enough sea food and I can't really afford to
order it often. I made a plain scallion pa jun pancake in my wok that
was tasty enough to give me hope but I totally messed up the flip and I
didn't have the right equipment. Can I get a $25 sandwich maker or
waffle maker and cheat my clumsy hands? I've never been interested in
pancake equipment before but I really want to make good pa jun. Thanks
in advance for your ideas.

Hi ggg!

Pajeon in a wok?!? You need a flat-bottomed frying-pan!

Doesn't work - believe me, I tried the same to make bindaetteok.
Get yourself a griddle. And don't flip-fly anything at first!
Unless you want to redecorate the kitchen-ceiling, of course ... ;-D

Good luck!

Bye, sanne.

ok thanks. I'll try first with my old Visions pan then.

Sometimes one can flip a pancake like thing by sliding it onto a plate
then putting the pan over the plate to flip it.

my problem was that it didn't come off the pan cleanly

more water in pa jun. I used a googled recipe from a Boston newspaper

I love the combo of starch salt and scallions but my mom won't make
scallion cake and I don't have a rolling pin ... somehow pa jun looks
easier.
