Buchjeon (Garlic Chive Pancakes)

Cut the garlic chives into about 2-inch length pieces. Thinly slice the onion.

Add the pancake mix to a large bowl. Stir in 1 cup of icy cold water and the soy sauce (or gochujang for the spicy version) and mix lightly. The batter should be thin.

Mix in the garlic chives and onion.

Heat one tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Ladle the mixture into the pan, and spread it evenly into a thin round shape. Cook until the edges turn light golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low if the pancake browns too quickly. Turn it over, adding more oil to the sides of the pan, and press it down with a spatula. Cook until the other side is light golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Repeat the process until there is no remaining batter and the optional spicy version. Serve with a dipping sauce.
