This magical recipe transforms leftover namul into a wonderful dish. It’s crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and satisfying enough to be a meal, just like a pizza!
Main Ingredients
- Leftover namul (any kind)
- Assorted vegetables (use up any leftover veggies in your fridge)
- Cooked rice (for added savoriness and fullness)
- Cooking oil (plenty)
- Flour (to adjust batter consistency)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, use scissors or a knife to cut the prepared namul into bite-sized pieces. It’s okay if the namul has some moisture or seasoning remaining; it can actually add more flavor to the jeon.
Step 2
Add flour to the cut namul to achieve the right batter consistency. Since the namul might already be seasoned, taste it and add a pinch of salt if needed, according to your preference. Be careful not to add too much salt.
Step 3
Once you’ve added flour to adjust the namul batter’s consistency, it’s time to add cooked rice for extra savoriness and a satisfying texture. The rice grains will mash and blend well with the batter, enhancing the namul jeon’s overall flavor.
Step 4
Combine the rice, namul, and flour in a bowl and mix them thoroughly to form the batter. Use a spatula or your hands to blend the ingredients smoothly, ensuring there are no clumps.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare the vegetables for the namul jeon! It’s a great opportunity to use up any vegetables you have in your refrigerator. Adding green onions and Cheongyang peppers will significantly boost the flavor and make the jeon even more delicious. Using plenty of green onions is key, as their crisp texture and natural sweetness complement the namul jeon wonderfully.
Step 6
Add the prepared vegetables to the namul batter and mix everything together evenly. The addition of vegetables will make the batter visually appealing and appetizing.
Step 7
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Ladle portions of the batter into the hot pan to start frying the namul jeon. Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning.
Step 8
Fry until each side is golden brown and deliciously cooked. Gently press down with a spatula while frying to ensure even browning and a crispier texture.
Step 9
The finished namul jeon boasts a delightful contrast: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, much like a savory pizza. It makes for a satisfying meal. I personally enjoyed this namul jeon so much that I finished the entire batch myself! It was a moment where leftover holiday namul transformed into an exceptional dish. You should definitely give it a try!
