Meat jun
Meat jun is a food dish popularized in Hawaii,[1] and largely found only there. It consists of thinly sliced beef dipped in egg batter that is deep fried and takes its name from the Korean word jeon, which means fritter. Meat jun is a popular dish served at Korean Hawaiian restaurants, offered either as an entree or part of a mixed plate lunch. It is usually served with a soy- or gochujang-based dipping sauce.
Ingredients
Meat jun is a simple dish composed of marinated meat, eggs, and flour. While jeon can be made with many other ingredients, this Hawaiian take on soegogi-jeon is typically made with thinly sliced beef that is marinated in a sweet soy sauce (shoyu) and will usually come with a simple dipping sauce that is either soy- or gochujang- based which is mixed with rice wine vinegar, sesame oil and red pepper flakes or chili oil, which is typically optional.[2]
