For the Wanja-jeon:
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients for the patties. Mix until everything is well incorporated. Take two tablespoons worth of mixture and shape into small patties, like flattened sliders, about ½-inch thick.
- Dip each patty in flour and then beaten egg.
- In a medium size frying pan filled to 1/8-inch with oil, fry each patty until slightly golden on each side, about 1½ minutes per side for half inch thick patty, over medium-high heat.
- Wipe pan clean between batches of frying.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined tray. Serve alongside salad and rice. Garnish with chopped scallions and fresh cilantro and enjoy!
