Ingredients
- Makes 7 to 9 about 3-inch fritters
- 8 ounces oysters gul, 굴
- ½ small carrot
- 1 scallion
- 2 mushroom caps any fresh mushrooms
- 1 cup buchim garu ready-made pancake mix or flour (see note)
- 1 tablespoon corn or potato starch
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- oil for frying
Dipping Sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- pinch of black pepper
- pinch of gochugaru Korean red chili pepper flakes
Instructions
- Clean the oysters by gently swishing them around in salted water. Drain. Rinse again in clean water and keep them in a strainer over a bowl to drain well.
- Finely chop the carrot, scallion, and mushrooms.
- In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix, starch and baking soda and whisk well. Mix with 3/4 cup icy cold water. Add a tablespoon or two more if needed. The batter should be slightly thick but still runny.
- Mix the oyster with the sesame oil, and then add to the batter along with the vegetables.
- Heat 1/4-inch oil in a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Add about 2 heaping tablespoons of the batter, and spread it evenly into a small round shape. Depending on the size of your pan, you can cook 5 to 6 pancakes at once. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve hot with a dipping sauce.
Notes
- To substitute the buchim garu, use 1 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
