De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Place the zucchini slices in a single layer and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 10 minutes.

   Ongeveer 10 min

   Tip van de kok: This step draws out excess water, which prevents the pancakes from becoming soggy.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine the beef slices with soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper. Mix well to marinate.

   Ongeveer 2 min

3. 3

   Pat the cod pieces dry with a paper towel and season them lightly with salt and black pepper.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Ensuring the fish is dry helps the coating adhere better.

4. 4

   In another small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the dipping sauce. Set aside.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Set up your dredging station by placing the all-purpose flour in one shallow dish and the beaten eggs in another.

7. 7

   Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a layer of neutral cooking oil.

9. 9

   Carefully place the coated zucchini in the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can steam the jeon instead of crisping them.

    Repeat the coating process with the marinated beef pieces, first dredging in flour and then dipping in egg.

    Ongeveer 3 min

11. 11

    Add more oil to the skillet if needed. Cook the coated beef pieces for 1-2 minutes per side until cooked through and golden.

    Tip van de kok: Beef cooks quickly, so watch it carefully to prevent it from becoming tough.

    Finally, coat the seasoned cod pieces in flour and then egg.

    Add the last bit of oil to the pan and cook the coated fish for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to the plate with the other jeon.

    Ongeveer 5 min

    Tip van de kok: The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
