Pajeon
Pajeon (파전, Korean pronunciation: [pʰa.dʑʌn]) is a variety of jeon with scallion as its prominent ingredient, as pa (파) means scallion. It is a Korean dish made from a batter of eggs, wheat flour, rice flour, scallions, and often other ingredients depending on the variety. Beef, pork, kimchi, shellfish, and other seafood are mostly used. If one of these ingredients, such as squid, dominates the jeon, the name will reflect that; e.g. ojing'eo jeon (오징어전) is 'squid jeon'.

Pajeon is usually recognizable by the highly visible scallions. It is similar to a Chinese scallion pancake in appearance; however, unlike the Chinese dish (but like Western pancakes), it is made from a liquid batter and thus has a lighter texture.
