Cooking - Haemul Pajeon (Seafood Pancake)

One of my favorite Korean food which I call "Korean pizza" - Haemul Pajeon!

Ingredients

200g shallots
1 octopus
50g clams (no shells)
50g shrimp (peeled and tails removed)
1 red pepper
1 egg
1 ½ cup frying flour
1 ¼ cups water
pinch of salt
vegetable oil for frying
Directions

    1. Trim, rinse, and cut shallots into 7cm pieces. If the roots of the shallots are thick, slice in half once more.
    2. Remove internal organs and ink from the octopus and rub with coarse salt to remove slimy parts. Rinse and cut into
        3cm long pieces.
    3. Rinse the clams and shrimp in a shallow bowl of salt water and squeeze out excess water. Cut red pepper at a slant
        into 3cm long pieces.
    4. Mix a pinch of salt with egg.
    5. Stir frying flour and water to make pancake mix. Add octopus, clams, and shrimp and mix lightly.
    6. Heat vegetable oil in fry pan. Pour pancake mix into fry pan so that it covers the pan and top with leeks and red pepper.
        Add egg mixture on top.
    7. Flip and fry to a crispy texture.
