I need to perfect the skill in making Korean Pancake so i can help out in family gatherings and festivities if the time comes and i will be based in Korea LOL!

So after a lot of wexperiments and all...i think this is one of the easiest and i think basic technique in cooking Korean Pancake.
1/2 cup flour (sshhhh you can use the pre-mixed Korean Pancake that i discoverd)
1 tsp salt
2/3 cup water
5-6 green onions, chopped
A bunch of chives, chopped
5-6 slices zucchini, chopped into long slices
1 green chili pepper, finely chopped
2 large size shrimp, chopped OR several small scallops chopped
3-4 scallops, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 egg

1. Make a batter by mixing flour, salt and water.
2. Chop vegetables and seafoods.
3. Heat a skillet over medium high heat
4. Add all the ingredients except the seafood in the flour mixture.
5. Pour 2 tbsp olive oil in the skillet.
6. Add the battered veggies to the skillet, spread as thinly as you can.
7. Place the chopped seafood over the pancake. Sprinkle all over the pancake.
8. Break and whisk one egg. Pour over the top of the pancake.
9. When the pancake looks yellow and brown from the sides, its time to give it a flip.
10. Cook for few more minutes. Add more olive oil if required.
11. Serve with sauce.
Sauce:

Soy sauce put some sesame seeds and thinly sliced shallots or leeks.

If its with seafood it's called Haemul Jun
With the use of the
batter you can make..Kimchi pancake or other vegetable pancakes.
