Main Ingredients- 1 bunch fresh chives (approx. 100g)
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1/2 medium carrot
- 1/2 cup cocktail shrimp (thawed)
- 1/2 cup shredded squid (thawed)
Batter & Seasoning- 3 cups pancake mix (approx. 300g)
- 2 cups cold water
- 1/2 Tbsp Dasida (or umami seasoning)
- 3 cups pancake mix (approx. 300g)
- 2 cups cold water
- 1/2 Tbsp Dasida (or umami seasoning)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the chives thoroughly under running water. Gently pat them dry and cut them into lengths of about 3-4 cm for easy eating.
Step 2
Peel and wash the onion and carrot. Then, julienne them into thin strips. Cutting them this way ensures they mix well into the batter and provide a pleasant texture when cooked.
Step 3
In a large bowl, add the 3 cups of pancake mix. Pour in the 2 cups of cold water. Using a whisk or spatula, mix until smooth and free of lumps to create the batter. The consistency should be neither too thick nor too thin.
Step 4
Add the julienned onion and carrot to the prepared batter and mix lightly. Next, prepare the thawed cocktail shrimp and shredded squid. Rinse them lightly under cold water to thaw and drain any excess moisture before adding them to the batter. The seafood will add a rich flavor.
Step 5
Umami is key for seafood pancakes! Add 1/2 Tbsp of Dasida (or your preferred umami seasoning) to taste. If needed, you can add a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Now, stir everything together gently until well combined. Ensure the chives, vegetables, and seafood are evenly coated with the batter.
Step 7
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Ladle a portion of the batter onto the pan and spread it thinly. Cooking over medium-low heat ensures it cooks through without burning and becomes crispy around the edges. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
Step 8
Ta-da! Your delicious Chives and Seafood Pancake is ready! It’s best enjoyed warm. Serve it with a side of sweet and tangy soy dipping sauce. ^^♡
