Easy gochujang pancakes!
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!
