Korean Pancake Pa Jeon

In the past, Koreans were mostly farmers. When it rained, they couldnt work in the fields; they stayed home and used the time to repair tools and tidy up the house. Rice, which was their main food, was so precious that they didnt eat it during the days they werent working in the fields. For rainy days, they invented a dish that used flour instead of rice. They called this dish Pa Jeon, and foreigners have recently given it the name Korean pancake.
