What kind of "pancakes" did I eat?

I stopped in a place I think was called Clark market. It's an asian grocery on the east side of Kedzie in a strip mall just north of Lawrence. In the back they have a kitchen and a woman was making a sort of pancake on a large griddle. They had packages of the pancakes for sale ($4 for a dozen, as I recall) that were still warm. There were several flavors. I got the one with slivers of carrots and a green vegetable inside an essentially yellowish pancake. They were quite good. Anyone know what I ate?

Thanks.

Korean pa jon.

There are many different types of these "pancakes," including mushroom and shrimp, oyster and scallion, mixed seafood, etc.

if you liked clark markets pa jon, you should try the ones at arirang (on lawrence) or better yet at the akai hana market in the strip mall at milwaukee & golf

Any connection to the Akai Hana in Wilmette at Lake Ave. and Skokie Blvd.?If so,do they have the pancakes?Thanks.

Thanks for the help. I'm not too familar with Korean food (getting to know it better is moving up the to do list), which is why I didn't know what it was.

Just guessing there's no connection, since one is a large Korean grocery store (and I don't recall seeing sushi there in any form, but the sake and soju selection is good); the other is a reasonably good, aparently purely Japanese sushi bar (with other Japanese items in the restaurant).

Thanks.I did not know there were two Akai Hana locations.I don't remember seeing the one at Milwaukee and Golf zim mentioned so I was curious.

don't know if they're related.

They don't have sushi but the pa-jun are served out a little window in the back wall. Get the ones that are nice and warm and fresh

actually, what you are describing is bindaeduk, mung bean pancakes. they are like the seafood pancake pajun but the pancake batter is different. you'll find this stuff at most korean restaurants and groceries.
