  • •2 piece Green onion (chopped, for garnish)
  • •2 tbsp Soy sauce (for dipping sauce)
  • •1 tbsp Rice vinegar (for dipping sauce)

Instructions

  1. 1

  3. 3

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

    Pour the batter into the hot skillet, spreading it out evenly to form a thin pancake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    While the pancake is cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl.

    Once the pancake is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Cut into wedges and garnish with chopped green onions.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

Chef's Tips
