Spring Fragrance Galore! Ryu Soo-young’s Dill & Radish Pancake
The Ultimate Spring Vegetable Dish! Crispy and Delicious Fusion Radish Pancake with Dill Recipe
Inspired by Ryu Soo-young’s recipe from ‘Pyeonstaurant,’ this ‘Dill & Radish Pancake’ is a masterpiece. The fragrant spring herb, dill, and the crisp radish come together in a fantastic harmony, creating a pancake that’s delightfully crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This simple yet foolproof recipe guarantees delicious results, bringing the essence of spring to your dining table! While radish pancakes are wonderful on their own, adding dill and red chili pepper elevates the flavor profile to something truly special.
Ingredients- 1/2 medium radish
- 50g dill
- 1 red chili pepper
- 1/2 cup tempura flour
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully remove the seeds from the red chili pepper and mince it very finely. Wash the dill thoroughly, focusing on the green parts, and then finely chop it. Preparing your ingredients in advance will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Wash the radish well and julienne it thinly without peeling. The thinner the julienne strips, the softer and crispier the pancake will turn out.
Step 3
Add 1/2 cup of tempura flour to the julienned radish. Using tempura flour will help achieve an extra crispy texture.
Step 4
Gently toss the julienned radish with the tempura flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can release too much moisture from the radish and make the batter too wet. If you mix gently and cook immediately, you’ll have Ryu Soo-young’s basic radish pancake from ‘Pyeonstaurant’.
Step 5
While a basic radish pancake is delicious, we’re adding fragrant dill and finely chopped red chili pepper for a color and flavor boost, making it even more special. This step infuses the pancake with the aromatic essence of dill and a subtle hint of spice from the chili.
Step 6
Add the chopped dill and minced red chili pepper to the radish and flour mixture. Gently mix everything together again until well combined. Once all ingredients are harmoniously blended, your delicious dill and radish pancake batter is ready.
Step 7
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and generously add vegetable oil. Scoop portions of the batter and spread them into round shapes on the hot pan. Maintain medium heat throughout to ensure the pancake cooks evenly and doesn’t burn.
Step 8
Flip the pancakes and fry until both sides are golden brown and crispy. Frying them until they are almost deep-fried will result in an incredibly crispy exterior and a moist interior. Using ample oil will enhance the deliciousness of the pancake.
Step 9
Serve immediately while warm to enjoy the irresistible ‘Dill & Radish Pancake’ with its perfect balance of crispiness and subtle sweetness. Make your mealtime delightful with this special pancake bursting with spring flavors!
