About the dish

Daegujeon is a traditional dish originating from South Korea. This type of jeon (pan-fried battered food) is made with a combination of cod fillets, flour, eggs, garlic, scallions, salt, white pepper, and oil. The cod fillets are seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic, coated with flour, and dipped into a mixture of beaten eggs and chopped scallions. Once battered, they are pan-fried in hot oil on both sides until golden brown. Daegujeon is served hot with a dipping sauce on the side. The sauce usually consists of soy sauce and vinegar.
