I know. I've already written about pizza having some weird ingredients and cooking processes in certain Korean eateries. However, it has come to my attention that there is a food that my co-teachers refer to as "Korean Pizza." I give you cheesy pajeon! Also known as cheesy kimchi pajeon and the best drunk food on the peninsula (unless those Northerners have some well-kept secret).
Pajeon looks like an omelette and just as delicious maybe more if they added bacon. In the flat flour-based savory pancake you'll find green onions, other vegetables kicking around, and obviously cheese. It's fried in a skillet, the crispy outsides are the best. Also though there's the soft, warm, gooey, cheesy middle which is a close second. Some have enough of a kick that you have to let it sit on your tongue and embrace this gift from the heavens.
It goes best with Makgeolli (막걸리) and because this is Korea it's dirt cheap in a restaurant. With winter coming and comfort foods and oven-warmed kitchens in high demand I'm going to try my hand at some Korean dishes this being one of them. I've done this with Kimbab (김밥) and now I can only eat my kimbab because I hate certain veggies and roots(?) that I find inside something that I'm coining as the Korea's Burrito.
Blog to be made. Possibly weekend event. Roadhouse.
Anyways eat (or dream about eating) some glorious cheesy pajeon. Settling and eating regular cheese is also a very acceptable alternative.
