📖 The Story Behind This Dish

In Korea, pajeon is beloved as a dish for rainy days — the sound of it sizzling in the pan is said to resemble the sound of rain, strengthening the association. Lined with plenty of green onion and often studded with seafood, it's especially popular, and a classic pairing with makgeolli (rice wine).

🌆 Where it's eaten: A drizzly afternoon, the sound of pajeon sizzling in the pan mingling with the rain outside — dipping the fresh-cooked pancake into vinegar-soy sauce, alongside a kettle of makgeolli.
