Elevate Your Packaged Yukgaejang: A Simple Yet Delicious Method
In our busy lives, we often rely on convenient pre-packaged meals. This recipe shows you how to enhance store-bought yukgaejang to create a more flavorful and satisfying dish. Perfect for those living alone or seeking a quick, hearty meal.
Yukgaejang Ingredients- 1 pack store-bought Yukgaejang
- Sour/fermented vegetables (like kimchi or fernbrake) to taste
- 1/2 Green onion, chopped
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Pour the store-bought yukgaejang into a pot. Add a generous amount of sour/fermented vegetables – kimchi or fernbrake work wonderfully to deepen the flavor. Toss in the chopped green onion for added freshness and aroma.
Step 2
If making the oyster pancakes, prepare the batter: combine the cleaned oysters with 3 tablespoons of Korean pancake mix and 1 egg. Mix well until a cohesive batter forms. For a touch of color and flavor, you can add a pinch of dried parsley.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add enough cooking oil to coat the bottom. Spoon dollops of the oyster batter onto the hot pan, forming small, round pancakes.
Step 4
Pan-fry the oyster pancakes over medium-low heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides. They should be cooked through, with a delightful crispy exterior and a tender interior. Set the cooked pancakes aside on a plate.
