Jogijeot-jeon-guk (Jogijeot Pancake Soup) Recipe

Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup of jogijeot (salted baby clams)
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup of chopped scallions
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 4 cups of anchovy broth
- Salt and pepper to taste

Special equipment needed:
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Soup pot

Step-by-step instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, water, egg, chopped scallions, and sesame oil. Mix well until the batter is smooth.

2. Add the jogijeot to the batter and mix well.

3. Heat the soup pot over medium heat and add the anchovy broth. Bring to a boil.

4. Once the broth is boiling, use a ladle to pour the batter into the soup pot. The batter will cook quickly, so make sure to pour it in a circular motion to create a thin layer.

5. Let the pancake cook for 1-2 minutes until it starts to float to the surface. Use a ladle to gently flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

6. Once the pancake is cooked, use a pair of scissors to cut it into bite-sized pieces.

7. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Serve the pancake pieces in individual bowls and ladle the hot broth over them.
