Gochujang Pancakes

Easy gochujang pancakes! 

Gochujang Pancakes (JangTteok) | MyKoreanKitchen.com

Gochujang pancakes are called Jang-Tteok in Korean.

The word “Jang” (장) means seasoning, like soy sauce (Ganjang, 간장), soybean paste (Doenjang, 된장), or chilli paste (Gochujang, 고추장). Therefore “Jang-Tteok” (장떡) means pancakes seasoned with some kind of sauce that I mentioned earlier.

Its name can be varied depending on the type of sauce, vegetable and/or meat you use when cooking.

Today’s version is “perilla leaf pancake”. The aroma from perilla leaves combined with spicy gochujang produces a really delicious smell and flavor. It’s a perfect Korean side dish!

Hope you give it a try soon!

These were easy and delicious! I am gluten free so I used a combination of GF flour, brown rice flour, and corn starch in place of Korean pancake mix – which meant I needed literally double the water, since GF flour absorbs so well… But in the end, our pancakes looked just like the ones in the photo and tasted fantastic. My daughters (who are half-Korean) have been very interested in exploring their heritage as of late, so I’m thrilled to be able to try some authentic recipes. Thanks for this!

I made these tonight after going to a Korean grocery store near Atlanta. Man, are they good! I wanted to try sesame leaves, so I tried this first. I was afraid of the red pepper paste and green chili, but the heat level wasn’t bad. I might even add more next time.

Thanks for the recipe!

How would you describe the taste of these leaves? Are they the same as perilla or shiso used in Japanese cooking?

Thank you for this recipe! I do have a question: pajun recipes usually have egg, but this one doesn’t?!? Should I use an egg to make the batter? Thanks!
