4. For making large pa-chon, beat eggs. Sprinkle flour over pieces of green onion and mix them with half of the beaten egg. Spread the mixture on a heated, oiled pan, place the seasoned meat and shellfish between the green onion, then cover with the rest of the egg. Lower heat to let the ingredients cook. Turn when one side is well cooked.
