Reviving Frozen Jeon for Perfect Crispy Reheating
How to Reheat Frozen Jeon (Korean Pancakes) to Perfection
Don’t let leftover Jeon go to waste! If you have extra Korean pancakes, freeze them in portions without stacking to prevent them from sticking together. This method ensures you can enjoy them later as if they were freshly made. (Recommended storage period: within 2-3 months)
Key Ingredients
- Frozen Korean pancakes (Jeon)
Oil
- 15g cooking oil (be generous)
- 15g cooking oil (be generous)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Gently thaw the frozen Jeon in the microwave for about 2 minutes. This step significantly reduces the cooking time on the pan and minimizes the risk of burning due to prolonged heat exposure. 2. Aim for the center of the Jeon to still be slightly frozen. Completely thawing can cause the Jeon to break apart easily.
Step 2
Divide the thawed Jeon into approximately four pieces. Cutting them increases the surface area exposed to the hot oil, leading to a crispier texture.
Step 3
While cutting the Jeon into smaller pieces results in more crispy edges, be mindful that excessively small pieces can be fragile and break. Find a size that balances crispiness and structural integrity.
Step 4
Add a generous amount of cooking oil to your frying pan. Ample oil is crucial for achieving a golden-brown and crispy finish without burning. Heat the pan over high heat.
Step 5
Once the pan is hot, carefully place the cut Jeon pieces onto it. Alternate between medium and high heat to prevent burning while ensuring the Jeon is heated through.
Step 6
Cook until both sides are golden brown and deliciously crispy. Congratulations, your reheated Jeon is ready to be enjoyed, tasting almost as good as the freshly made ones!
