Super Easy Perilla Leaf and Imitation Crab Pancake (Jeon)
Pan-frying⏱ 10min👥 2 servings
Ingredients
- 10 pieces of crab sticks (imitation crab).
- 5 perilla leaves.
- 2 eggs.
- A pinch of salt (approximately 2 pinches).
- Use a moderate amount of cooking oil.
Instructions
1
Cut the stems of the perilla leaves with scissors and carefully remove the central core (the pith). This prepares the leaves for use.
2
Crack two eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of salt to each. Whisk thoroughly until well combined.
3
Cut the perilla leaves in half, place a piece of crab stick on each half, and roll them up. (Based on the video context, use five perilla leaves to make ten rolls by cutting them in half.)
4
Gently brush a small amount of egg wash onto the tip of the perilla leaf and press it firmly to secure it in place.
5
Heat some cooking oil in a pan. Place the perilla leaf-wrapped fish cake (musaengjeon) into the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides.
