전(Jeon: Korean pancake)

Few months ago, I posted about 설날. In the post, I introduced a bit about 전. I introduced about 3 kinds of 전, but there are many kinds of 전 in Korea.













For the last few weeks, it was rainy, rainy, and RAINY in here. 전 is the most well known food when it comes to rainy day.



















Wait, but why Korean people tend to eat 전 in rainy day?












I don't know why exactly, but there are some suppositions.


1. The sound from 전 when it's cooked is similar to the sound of rain.

2. During the Agricultural Age, people couldn't farm in rainy day, so they used to make 전, and eat it.







Anyway, whatever! It's delicious no matter why people started to eat it on rainy day! :P

















So? I really really fancied 전 for the last few weeks, and I decided to go to a restaurant.

Rainy day means 전 with 막걸리(makgeolli: rice wine)! >:D

So I ordered them. I was drinking 막걸리while I waited for 막걸리.

Yeah, it's a pictures of 전.

They were cooked..!!!!!

*Few minutes later*

Ta-da!!

Here is 모듬전(assorted jeon)!

It's 깻잎전(kkaennip jeon: Sesame Leaf Pancake).

There were meat inside of this 전

This is Korea style Meatball.

It's one of common 전 in here, so you can find it on national holidays like 설날, or 추석.

It's a piece of 녹두전(Nokdu Jeon: Mung Bean Pancake)

It's actually round, but I just cut it to eat easily.

It's Mushroom Pancake

These are 두부(Tofu)전, and 동태전(Pollack Pancake)

This is 고추전(Gochu Jeon: Chili Pepper pancake).

And it's 부추전(Buchu jeon: Leek Pancake)

Even though I posted Jeon so far, there are more kinds of 전.

So? There are so many kinds of 전 you can try. :)

And..

When is the next rainy day? :D?
