[MANNMA Korean Class] Dongrae Farjeon(Korean-style Fried Seafood & Vegetable Pancake)

Busan Do Eat!

Local dishes reflect the lifestyle and habits of people living in villages, and the taste of dishes peculiar to certain villages has the full flavor of natural ingredients.
Therefore, we have made sustained efforts to create new cuisine featuring local foods unique to Busan.

Dongrae Farjeon

Dough of wheat and rice flour is mixed with chives and various kinds of seafood (squid, oysters, mussels, clams, etc), and the mixture is then fried on a frying pan. This dish has been a speciality of Dongrae Market since the ond days, popular with market traders and customers alike.

MANNAM Korean class members went to 뜰에장 to experince the Korean traditional cooking.
뜰에장 is a famous as a korean traditional experince.
The place is near Mandock station in Busan. Once you get off the subway, you will have to take a local bus. The number 8 bus is probably the quickest and cheapest way.
The experience time was about 2 hours. We learned cooking for around 1hour and then they gave rice and some side dishes. So, we really stuffed with pajeon and rice.
They had their first making of Korean food. They look like really happy to learning how to cook Korean food.
