I have a friend who would like this as a hearty gluten-free breakfast if it can be made with just rice flour — thanks!

Definitely rice flour can be a great substitute, in fact I think it would be better as it will give a crispier texture
I ALWAYS get the seafood pajeon when in a Korean restaurant. But I have not gotten around to make it myself so thanks for the great looking recipe!
The sauce sounds like the star of the show! Looks like the Pajeon just soaks it all up for a beautiful bite 🙂

Your Korean pancakes look perfect and delicious! I’ve made them a couple of times but mine are always gummy. Looking at yours, I think I make them too thick. I’ll try your recipe next time.
