Korean Radish Pancakes (Mujeon) – 무전


These crispy and savory Korean radish pancakes highlight the mellow sweetness of Korean radish (mu), making them a simple yet incredibly flavorful dish. They have a lightly chewy interior with a golden, crispy crust. Serve them with a tangy soy-lemon dipping sauce for the perfect balance of flavors. If you can’t find Korean radish, daikon is a great substitute!
