Print: Haemul Pajeon (Korean Seafood Pancake)

It's been a while since we had pajeon (literally translated pa means green onion/scallions and jeon means pancake, thus green onion pancake) since our California days with unlimited makgeolli (fermented rice wine). But for the sake of adding to our recipe list, we decided to make haemul pajeon (seafood pancake) for tonight while the kids spend the night at Komo's house (Auntie's). There are endless variations of this dish which can be made by adding or omitting certain ingredients according to personal preference.
