Easy
Ingredients
  • 725g of Asian chives
  • 186g plain flour
  • 1/2 an onion
  • 350ml of water
  • 4tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1.5tbsp fish sauce

This recipe makes four pancakes if using an 8-inch pan but the number you make depends on the size of the pan used. We made these for a picnic, alongside some Korean Seafood Pancakes and they went down a treat! Completely vegan and vegetarian (feel free to switch the fish sauce for salt if preferred). 

 

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

First, rinse and then chop the chives and then the onion.

In a bowl, mix the flour with the water to create a batter, then add the fish sauce and mix well.

Step 4

Heat some of the oil in a pan, making sure the whole pan is covered. Once the oil is hot, pour in around a quarter of the batter, and spread it out to make sure it is of equal thickness, and cook on medium-high heat for around 4 minutes until the bottom becomes slightly golden. Make sure the pancake does not burn but crisps up a bit.

Step 5

Flip the pancake, then cook on the other side for a further 4 minutes or so, until slightly golden. It may be necessary to add a bit more oil when cooking on the second side.

Step 6

Repeat the same process with the rest of the batter- but prior to pouring the batter in, make sure you add vegetable oil again. 

Step 7

You can either serve the pancakes straight away, or if using for a picnic, let these pancakes cool on a wire rack for around 10 minutes, then cut into pieces prior to serving. Enjoy!
