What is Yachaejeon?
Yache means vegetables, and Jeon is a general term for pancakes. There are several types of pancakes in Korea, but vegan or vegetable pancake is popular too.
These vegetable pancakes can be easily customized to your liking by adding or subtracting your choice of vegetables.
I have used all sorts of my favorite vegetables, like purple cabbage, carrots, red peppers, scallions, mushrooms, potatoes, and garlic, in this recipe. It's amazing how the flavor gets combined.
What Type of Dipping Sauce is Needed for this Pancake?
I always serve chili garlic oil or Szechuan sauce as the dipping sauce. However, based on your taste, it could be anything.
What is the Difference Between Chinese Scallion Pancake and Korean Pancake?
Chinese scallion pancake is quite different from the traditional pancake method. Here we knead a soft dough using hot water. Scallions are used after making the dough, and it's almost like a cinnamon roll kind of method.
However, for this Korean pancake, we make a rational batter like an all-purpose flour batter and then mix all the shredded vegetables. Cooking is the same as after heating the pan. We spread the batter and then cook on both sides till they get crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
What Ingredients are Needed for this Pancake?

Corn Starch- To give a nice crispy texture.
Salt
Pepper

Carrot
Red Pepper

Or any vegetable of your choice!
