Heat half the sesame oil (7.5ml) in a frying pan over medium heat.
Advice: Adding the batter to a sufficiently heated pan prevents sticking and results in a crispy exterior.

Pour half of the batter from Step 3 into the frying pan, shape it into a round, and fry one side over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Advice: Once the batter is spread, avoid moving it much until it browns to get a crispy finish.
⏱ Fry one side 3 sec - 6
Once one side is browned, flip it over, press lightly with a spatula, and fry for another 3 minutes. Cook the remaining batter in the same way.
Advice: Pressing lightly with a spatula ensures even cooking throughout and a crispy texture.
⏱ Fry the other side 3 sec - 7
While the Jeon is frying, make the dipping sauce. In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, white sesame seeds, and chili oil. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
Advice: For extra flavor, you can add a small amount of minced garlic or ginger to the sauce, if desired.

Cut the cooked Jeon into easy-to-eat pieces, serve with the special sauce, and enjoy!
