Hobak jeon today

I made one of my favourite Korean dishes today, called hobak jeon (instead of jeon it can be jun or chun or chon, depends on the writer ;)). It's very simple to make, just zucchinis, sweet potato, flour, salt and oil. I didn't make vegan version this time, so I also added eggs.


I had both yellow and green zucchinis and they were so colourful together! First I peeled the skin (not necessary) and cut the zucchinis into slices and sweet potato into sticks. I put flour (about 3 desilitres) into one bowl and 4 slightly beaten eggs + pinch of salt into another. 2 tablespoons of oil goes to the pan and gets medium heat (although it needs a bit help from you).

Then the messy part. Cover slices and sticks with flour from both sides and then put them into egg bowl and coat them with egg. Then the slices yearn to go the warm pan and get fried :) Yellow zucchinis really looked like slices of lemon in the flour bowl!


You should fry the slices as long as they get golden brown and then turn them and fry also from the other side. I'd say about 4 minutes on each side. In the end your hobak jeon should look something like this.

The best way to eat hobak jeon is to dip slices into soy sauce. So good and so yummy!

Our whole meal consisted of hobak jeon and salad made from tomatoes, cucumber, onion and feta cheese.

I'll write about something else than food later :)
