Yachaejeon: Korean Veggie Pancake

What to do with leftover veggies? How about a veggie pancake?

Yachaejeon is an easy to make popular dish made from whatever veggies you have left lying around your fridge, though in my opinion the flavor of scallions and onion are essential. You can follow this recipe, but try it with other veggies too, simply cut them into matchstick size, you need about 2 ½ cups of veggies total. This is a great way to use up an old pepper, or some broccoli or cauliflower stalks.
