Yen Can Cook ~ Chives Pancakes
Already run out of ideas what to cook? With another two week of this quarantine to go, I’m going to share more quick recipes for you to try out in your kitchen during the Movement Control Order.
Childhood memories definitely one of the important source of inspirations to my meal planning. Nothing brings back childhood memories quite like a snack or meal that you ate when you were a kid.
I grew up having this chives pancakes as snack which prepared by my mom. The ingredients needed are simple and the steps are super easy as well. I just prepared this as my lunch today, served together with Loh Hon Guo Dried Longan drink.
Ingredients (Serve: 2-3)
2-3 bunch of chives, clean and cut into 1cm long strips
30g dried shrimps, soaked in water and chopped
Cooking oil
Batter
150g multi-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon cooking oil
150ml water
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Add all the ingredients of batter as well as the chives in a deep bowl and mix well, set aside for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Heat cooking oil in a pan and stir fry dried shrimps until fragrant. Add into the batter mixture (Step 1)
Step 3: Heat cooking oil in a pan (you may use the same pan as above), pour the batter mixture into the pan and create an even round shape pancake, cook for about 3-4 minutes each side. Try not to move the pancake until it is set and flip to another side and continue cooking.
Step 4: Slide the pancake from the pan into the plate, continue the process until all the batter mixture is used.
HAPPY COOKING & #dudukrumah #stayathome
if only can air flight or deliver to Vietnam. Vietnam also started MCO. Today 1st day
Francis, the ingredients are easily obtained and the cooking steps are simple too, you can try out the recipe at home 🙂 Stay safe!
If I make this pancake, will sure eat non-stop. LOL!
PH, me too, ate at least 3pcs, OMG! I have some chives left, should I cook this again? =.=”
Now this lovely chives pancake will be great eaten with a nice curry 🙂
Kris, I had this without any dippings, still good, haha!
This reminds me I need to get more eggs..
KY, eggs are essential for this period 😛
this also makes me think of the chive pancakes at korean restaurants 🙂
Sean, Korean pancakes are thicker, and I think different flours are used too 🙂
This idea is brilliant and better than Korean pancakes which has too much flour. They don’t use chives and yours is better! Yums! Thanks for sharing this quickie recipe.
TM, try it out and blog aout it! My next attempt would be the Korean pancake, I like Kimchi pancake!
