6 days agoJeon Is a Korean Favorite for a Reason. Here's Why.
I had never noticed jeon in my youth, not like I do now. Maybe because they were always there, at every party, holiday, Tuesday night dinner. While the mothers gathered in the kitchen to fry up brimming platters of the Korean fritters with ingredients like meat (wanja jeon), kimchi (kimchi jeon) and cod (daegu jeon) the fathers played cards in the dining room, drinking soju and beer, and we children ran amok upstairs playing video games. The smell in the air, fried oil, was singular.
