Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 stalks green onions
  • 2 cups cabbage
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 cup water, 1 egg, and 0.5 tsp salt until smooth. The batter should be thin enough to coat a spoon.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice 4 green onions and 2 cups cabbage into matchstick strips. Add them to the batter and stir until every piece is coated.

  3. 3

    Heat 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour half the batter into the pan and spread it into an even circle.

  4. 4

    Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. You should see the edges turning brown and the top starting to set.

  5. 5

    Flip the pancake carefully with a spatula. Add the remaining 1.5 tbsp oil around the edges and cook the other side until golden and crisp, another 3-4 minutes.

  6. 6

    Slide the pancake onto a cutting board and slice into wedges. Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
